Claim Text:
1. A method of determining a transmission rate from a transmitter to a receiver, comprising: determining, via an electronic device, an amount of data buffered in a network between the transmitter and the receiver; determining a sustainable throughput of the network based at least in part on a margin of safety; and determining an update to a transmission rate based at least in part on the sustainable throughput and the amount of data buffered, wherein the update increases the transmission rate in response to determining that a receiving rate of the receiver during a time period exceeds a corresponding transmitting rate of the transmitter during the time period and the update decreases the transmission rate in response to determining that the corresponding transmitting rate exceeds the receiving rate; and transmitting, via the electronic device, a message based on the determined updated transmission rate.
