Patent ID: 8774043

Claim:
A processor-implemented method for providing layered gear mechanism to analyze network loss and latency conditions, comprising: bundling data into data packets of varying depths at a source, by a processor, the data packets of each depth belonging to a particular type of data; transmitting, by the processor, the data packets of varying depths in layers over a network to a destination, each layer corresponding to each depth; collecting information for the transmitted data packets for each layer as the data packets progress along the network; analyzing the collected information for the data packets of each layer to identify network transmission characteristics of each layer, the network transmission characteristics identifying transmission metrics for each layer; and adjusting transmission of subsequent data packets for anyone of the layers based on the network transmission characteristics, the adjusting is repeated one or more times based on the analyzed information for the transmitted data packets, the transmission metrics for each layer utilized for relative analysis of transmission metrics across the layers to set the adjusting.
