Abstract
Two timers are used to improve ingress throughput. Decisions to transfer the ingress packets are made based on when the two timers expire. A first timer is used to time how long a first ingress packet waits before it is transferred. When this first timer expires, the all received ingress packets including the first ingress packet are transferred. A second timer is used to time how long to wait for a new ingress packet to be received. The second timer is reset if a new ingress packet is received before expiration of the second timer. When the second timer expires and no new ingress packet is received during the wait, all received ingress packets including the first ingress packet are transferred.
