Methods for dynamically controlling transmission control protocol push functionality and devices thereof

A network traffic management apparatus, comprising memory comprising programmed instructions stored thereon and one or more processors configured to be capable of executing the stored programmed instructions to:

• monitor a message generated by an application or characteristic data of a TCP connection with a destination device or a source device, wherein the message generated is a receive window;
• determine when the receive window is less than a threshold to effectively manage network traffic in the TCP connection;
• and
• set the first TCP push flag for the first packet prior to the first packet being sent to the destination device via the TCP connection, when the determination indicates that the receive window is less than the threshold.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for managing transmission control protocol (TCP) functionality comprising executable code that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:

• monitor a message generated by an application or characteristic data of a TCP connection with a destination device or a source device, wherein the message generated is a receive window;
• determine when the receive window is less than a threshold to effectively manage network traffic in the TCP connection;
• and
• set the first TCP push flag for the first packet prior to the first packet being sent to the destination device via the TCP connection, when the determination indicates that the receive window is less than the threshold.

A network traffic management system, comprising one or more network traffic management apparatuses, server devices, or client devices with memory comprising programmed instructions stored thereon and one or more processors configured to be capable of executing the stored programmed instructions to:

• monitor a message generated by an application or characteristic data of a TCP connection with a destination device or a source device, wherein the message generated is a receive window;
• determine when the receive window is less than a threshold to effectively manage network traffic in the TCP connection;
• and
• set the first TCP push flag for the first packet prior to the first packet being sent to the destination device via the TCP connection, when the determination indicates that the receive window is less than the threshold.
