Determining packet size in networking
TLDR
In this paper, a method of determining a maximum packet size for data packets sent along a network path is proposed, where a sending computer sends a packet to a receiving computer through a sending interface.Abstract:
A method of determining a maximum packet size for data packets sent along a network path. A sending computer sends a packet to a receiving computer through a sending interface. The packet is fragmented during transfer to a receiving interface. The fragments are analyzed at the receiving interface and their size determined. The size of a fragment is compared to a pre-determined maximum packet size, and in response to the comparison, the maximum packet size is changed. The change is then reported to the sending interface and stored in a memory. Subsequent communications from the sending interface to the receiving interface are sent in packets of the size stored in the memory. Because the maximum packet size of a network path can change over time, test packets can be sent periodically to determine the maximum packet size.read more

Bandwidth estimation in broadband access networks
TL;DR: This paper points out that broadband access networks, such as cable modem and 802.11-based wireless networks, break this model in various ways, and presents a new available bandwidth estimation technique, Probe- Gap, that overcomes some of these difficulties.

Method and system for caching message fragments using an expansion attribute in a fragment link tag
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method, a system, an apparatus, and a computer program product for a fragment caching methodology, which is used to specify the location in a fragment for an included or linked fragment which is to be inserted into the fragment during fragment or page assembly or page rendering.

BFD rate-limiting and automatic session activation
TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for rate-limiting and automatic BFD session activation includes tracking a total bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) packet rate for a line card (LC) of the node, and rejecting operations associated with creation of new BFD sessions that would cause the total BFD packet rate to exceed a predetermined maximum rate.

Determining network path transmission unit
James L. Jason,Erik J. Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a protocol option is implemented in which a network packet stores a maximum transmission unit size to use for sending data on a path between a sender and a recipient, and the stored value is replaced if a receiver of the network packet uses a transmission unit (MTU) smaller than the storage value.
