A method of incrementing a receiver-initiated sending rate of data packets transmitted from a sender over a network receiver using Transport Control Protocol (TCP) comprising the step of sending an acknowledgement for received data packets from the receiver to the sender, wherein said acknowledgement contains an advertised window indicating the allowed sending bit rate and the step of increasing the advertised window by a maximum of one segment size per acknowledgement.

Optimised receiver-initiated sending rate increment

A method of performing Round Trip Time (RTT) measurement in a data packet receiver using a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) for communication via a network with a sender, said method comprising the steps of sending an acknowledgement for a currently received data packet to the sender, measuring a first time instant when sending the acknowledgement, triggering at the sender the transmission of an expected data-packet, measuring a second time instant when the expected data packet is received, and calculating the round-trip time based on the measured first and second time instants.
