Abstract:
1. A method for streaming data using a virtual bi-directional data stream between a first communication device and a second communication device comprising: creating, by the first device, a streaming data packet D inserting, by the first device, a data segment and D sending, by the first device, the connection-less transport layer packet to the second device; obtaining, by the first device, a current round trip time (RTT) that is based on first and second RTTs of packets previously sent from the first device to the second device and a configurable RTT variation factor, wherein the obtaining includes calculating, by the first device, the current RTT as the RTT for a streaming data packet D obtaining, by the first device, a current RTT variance that is based on a previous RTT variance, the first and second RTTs, and a configurable RTT variance variation factor, wherein the obtaining includes calculating, by the first device, the current RTT variance (RTTvar) as the RTTvar that was calculated for D calculating, by the first device, a timeout for D resending, by the first device, D
