Abstract:
There is provided an apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and a memory comprising code that, when executed on the at least one processor, causes the apparatus to: transmit, or arrange to transmit, a stream of packets to another apparatus; determine, at a first time, whether or not the number of packet pairs in the stream is above a threshold; and, if the number of packet pairs in the stream is determined to be below the threshold, configure future packet transmissions to the other apparatus to have more packet pairs

Claim (Index 13):
A method for operating a communication apparatus to estimate bandwidth through a network comprising:\n establishing a session with another apparatus over the network; determining an estimated bandwidth based on the established session; obtaining a first data stream for transmission over the network to the other apparatus, the first data stream including multiple packets; determining a first threshold number of packet pairs to be transmitted per unit time to cause network congestion, the first threshold number of packet pairs being based on the estimated bandwidth of the network; determining that the first data stream includes a number of packet pairs to be transmitted during a first unit time, the number of packet pairs being less than the first threshold number of packet pairs; and modifying the first data stream to increase the number of packet pairs in the first unit time to be at least the first threshold number of packet pairs before transmitting the first data stream to the other apparatus.
