Abstract:
1. A method for dynamically controlling connection bandwidth by a sender of one or more transport layer connections according to a priority assigned to one or more of the transport layer connections, the method comprising: transmitting, by a sender executing on a device, data to a receiver via a first transport layer connection, the first transport layer connection having a first congestion window size; identifying, by the sender, a window size alteration factor corresponding to a priority assigned to the first transport layer connection; adjusting, by the sender, the first congestion window size by the window size alteration factor to identify a second congestion window size; and transmitting, by the sender, data via a second transport layer connection, wherein the second transport layer connection has a third congestion window size; identifying, by the sender, a second window size alteration factor corresponding to a second priority assigned to the second transport layer connection; and determining a fourth congestion window size, the fourth congestion window size comprising the third congestion window size adjusted by the second window size alteration factor.
