Abstract:
1. A process for optimizing traffic control in a packet telecommunications network, said network comprising at least one transmitter terminal, at least one receiver terminal, and a traffic regulator arranged between the transmitter terminal and the receiver terminal, said transmitter and receiver terminals exchanging data packet segments via a connection-oriented link employing a transport protocol with acknowledgement of receipt, wherein when a connection is made between the transmitter and receiver terminals: the packet segments sent from the transmitter terminal to the receiver terminal are intercepted at the traffic regulator, an anticipated acknowledgement of receipt ACK where, rcv_wnd illustrates a receipt window imposed by the receiver terminal, pipe_size illustrates the number of octets not yet acknowledged by the receiver terminal, or an estimation of this number, bdp_estim illustrates the estimated value of the product BDP, transmitting to the transmitter terminal the calculated value adv_wnd so as to control the length of the bursts sent by said transmitter terminal.
