Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic management apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that monitor one or more messages generated by an application or one or more characteristics of one or more transmission control protocol (TCP) connections with a destination device or a source device. A determination is made when a first TCP push flag should be set for a first packet associated with data based on the monitoring. The data is provided by the application. The first TCP push flag for the first packet is set prior to the first packet being sent to the destination device via a first one of the TCP connections, based on the determination that the first TCP push flag should be set for the first packet. Accordingly, this technology more effectively manages TCP push functionality to reduce acknowledgement messages (ACKs) and thereby improve network bandwidth and device resource utilization.

Methods for dynamically controlling transmission control protocol push functionality and devices thereof

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic management apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that monitor at least one TCP connection. A determination is made when an established configuration for the TCP connection requires modification based on the monitoring. The established configuration corresponds to utilization of Nagle's algorithm for the TCP connection. The established configuration is automatically modified to enable or disable utilization of Nagle's algorithm for the TCP connection, when the determination indicates that the established configuration requires modification. By automatically toggling utilization of Nagle's algorithm for a TCP connection, the TCP connection can advantageously be dynamically optimized with this technology with respect to performance metrics such as latency and bandwidth efficiency.

Methods for dynamically managing utilization of Nagle's algorithm in transmission control protocol (TCP) connections and devices thereof

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic management apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that determine when an event has occurred. The event is defined in an obtained rule and is associated in the rule with a key. The key is attached to a connection associated with received network traffic that triggered the event, when the determining indicates that the event has occurred. The connection is associated with a first layer, the key comprises an input string value or corresponds to a portion of data associated with a second layer associated with the network traffic, and the second layer is different from the first layer. The connection is then monitored to obtain statistics for the connection and store or report the statistics as associated with the key.

Methods for facilitating network traffic analytics and devices thereof

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic management apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that generate a duration corresponding to a current one of a plurality of states in a TCP connection. The duration is generated based on a difference between a stored time recorded at a previous transition to the current one of the states and a current time. The duration is stored or output as associated with the current one of the states. The stored time recorded at the previous transition to the current one of the states is then replaced with the current time. A determination is made when one or more TCP configurations should be modified based on the duration for the current one of the states. The one or more TCP configurations are automatically modified to improve TCP performance, when the determining indicates that the one or more TCP configurations should be modified.

Methods for improved transmission control protocol (TCP) performance visibility and devices thereof

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product to managing links in a network. A directional link management system comprises a network manager, a router, a situational awareness database, a neighbor discovery module, a topology manager, and a data link manager. The network manager provides performance parameters for a wireless network. The router routes information to neighbor nodes provides information about links between nodes in the wireless network environment. The situational awareness database stores information about the nodes. The neighbor discovery module detects a presence of a new node. The topology manager identifies a set of links for a node using the set of performance parameters, information about the links, and information about the nodes. The data link manager manages the identified links.
