Claim:
1. A method for controlling data flow by a proxy server connected between a User Equipment (UE) and a content server, the method comprising: determining, by the proxy server, a first amount of data received by the UE from the proxy server; determining, by the proxy server, a second amount of data received by the proxy server from the content server; delaying, by the proxy server, transmission of acknowledgement (ACK) on data received by the proxy server from the content server, if the second amount of data is greater than the first amount of data by a predetermined threshold; determining an updated amount of data received by the UE after the ACK is delayed; and sending the ACK to the contents server, if the updated amount of data is greater than an over amount of data generated based on subtracting the first amount of data and the threshold from the second amount of data.
