Abstract:
1. A method of dispatching communication packets over a network from a software agent to an Internet server, said method comprising: defining a plurality of distributions; defining a plurality of probability sequences, each of said probability sequences including a known numerical probability for use with each of said distributions; receiving an input stream of communication packets in said software agent, said communication packets originating from at least one user computer and destined for said Internet server; storing a portion of said communication packets in a variable length buffer of a dispatcher of said software agent, said dispatcher including a timer but not including a fixed length buffer; calculating a statistic based upon said input stream of communication packets; choosing one of said probability sequences based upon said statistic after said probability sequences have been defined; choosing a value for said timer based upon said chosen probability sequence; placing said value into said timer of said dispatcher; and sending said communication packets over said network when said timer expires or when said variable length buffer is full.
