Claim:
1. A system, comprising: a first computing device coupled to a network, including: a processor; and a computer readable medium comprising instructions executable to implement a first protocol module, wherein the first protocol module is configured to: receive data for transmission, transmit the data over a transmission channel utilizing a first protocol, after a first portion of the data is transmitted over the transmission channel utilizing the first protocol, receive control data over a control channel utilizing a second protocol, wherein the control channel was established over the network utilizing the second protocol and the control data is received over the control channel asynchronously to a transmission of a second portion of the data over the transmission channel utilizing the first protocol, and in response to the control data received on the control channel utilizing the second protocol, adjust the transmission of data on the transmission channel based on the control data received on the control channel utilizing the second protocol to account for network effects associated with the transmission of data over the transmission channel utilizing the first protocol.
