Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: estimating, by a processing device, effective bandwidth of a communication link between a group of client devices at a first location and at least one host machine at a second location, wherein each client device of the groups of client devices maintains a communication session over the communication link with one of the at least one host machine; partitioning, by the processing device, a transport control protocol (TCP) window of the communication link into portions in view of quality of service (QoS) policy data of the communication sessions, wherein each portion of the TCP window is assigned for dedicated use by one of the communication sessions; and sending, by the processing device to each client device in the group of client devices, a parameter identifying the portion of the TCP window partitioned for the client device, the parameter sent to communication endpoints of each communication session.
