Abstract
A system and method for reconfiguring a TCP window in a switch of a network system, where the size of the window is determined based on the operating speed of a work station to which data packets in the window are being sent and the size of the switch buffer. The algorithm includes establishing a connection between a server and the station, where the connection includes TCP data packets. The algorithm identifies a TCP window size requested by the station, and identifies the connection speed of the station in the switch. The algorithm then modifies the TCP window size of the connection if the identified TCP window size does not support the connection speed and the size of the buffer. The algorithm also changes the TCP check-sum based on the new TCP window size.
