Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus provide efficient and flexible networking quality of service as well as transport protocol design. A hybrid transport/network quality of service (HTNQ) scheme improves the performance of TCP over specific links or network paths that are subject to high latency, a high bandwidth-delay product, high packet loss, and/or bit errors. A callback mechanism can be used between a packet scheduler and a transport module to control the transmission rate of packets across one or more connections or links.
