Abstract
In a Quality of Service system, segments in a TCP session are assigned a priority level. A segment may contain an acknowledgement and data. The system determines if network congestion is detected or anticipated in the segment's priority band or in a higher priority band. When the TCP segment arrives at a network point, the segment is split into an acknowledgement segment and a data segment. The acknowledgement segment is scheduled at a higher QoS priority than the data segment.
