Claim 9:
10. A method of increasing responsiveness of a server using a TCP connection (Transmission Control Protocol connection) comprising:
A) opening the TCP connection to receive and send TCP data packets, comprising:
(i) receiving at a server a first request for a first image data file over a network from a client;
(ii) sending from the server to the client a first image data file in response to the first request;
(iii) sending from the server to the client a first timestamp at a first time (t1);
(iv) receiving at the server from the client at a second time (t2) the first timestamp;
(v) determining a first difference (d1) given by t2 less t1;
(vi) receiving at the server a request for extra TCP data packets;
(vii) sending from the server to the client a second timestamp at a third time (t3);
(viii) receiving at the server from the client at a fourth time (t4) the second timestamp;
(B) determining a second difference (d2) given by t4 less t3;
(C) calculating bread given by C/T, where C is an amount of data bits of information that was read in a time elapsed between c2 and c1, where C=c2−c1 and T is a time elapsed between t4 and t2, where T=t4−t2+e; and
(D) reducing a send bandwidth to blimit if c1 is greater than f1*bread and e exceeds emax, where blimit is a bandwidth limit on the server, where f1 is a factor thereby increasing server-client responsiveness of requested data files.
