Abstract:
1. A networked system, comprising: a sending system having a processor and a memory, first and second mobile terminals, each mobile terminal having a processor and a memory; and a communication network having a plurality of network resources that couples the sending system and the first and second mobile terminals; and wherein the sending system sends a first file segment to the first mobile terminal, the first file segment being a portion of a first data file being transmitted to the first mobile terminal; wherein the first mobile terminal determines first congestion information of the communication network based on a transfer of the first file segment and determines a first transfer policy based on the first congestion information, wherein the first congestion information provides throughput data delivery measurements over one or more network segments or end-to-end link throughput performance measurements for combined network segments, or both, and wherein the first transfer policy provides a maximum permitted average delivery rate for the first mobile terminal based on the first congestion information determined by the first mobile terminal.
