Abstract
The disclosed embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product for improving network performance. For example, in one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for improving network performance includes determining network performance information data indicative of network transmission characteristics of a first set of data packets that are communicated, using a first data link layer protocol, over at least one link of a network. The method further includes the step of improving, using a processor, transmission of a second set of data packets over the network, which utilizes a second data link layer protocol, based on the network performance information data determined from the first set of data packets that are communicated using the first data link layer protocol.
