Abstract
Systems, methods, and servers for controlling data flow across a computer network having a first performance enhancing proxy device (PEP) between a client-facing segment of the network and a second PEP device (PEP) on a server-facing segment of the network. PEPhas a receiver for receiving flow control information from across a control channel between PEPand PEP, for each TCP connection on the client-facing segment. The information includes round-trip packet latency (Li) on the client-facing segment and transmit buffer congestion information of PEP. PEPhas a determiner for determining if a TCP connection has a congested packet flow; and a congestion reliever for relieving such congestion by synchronizing a receive buffer of the PEPto be the same size as a transmit buffer congestion window of the PEP; and delaying acknowledgments (ACKs) at PEPby a time Tack based on a preset threshold level Tlim or Li.
