Abstract
According to the present invention, a technique for controlling information flow in TCP connections over a wireless wide area network is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides methods and systems for controlling the rate that information flows over a TCP connection to an Xpress Transport Protocol (herein “XTP”) connection, for example. Embodiments can determine those connections likely to use relatively large amounts of system resources and apply flow control techniques to these connections.
