Packet coding based network communication

A first computing device configured for data communication with a second computing device, the first computing device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoding instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations including:
• determining, at the first computing device, at least one value of at least one communication protocol parameter corresponding to a first data communication connection with the second computing device;
• establishing, at the first computing device, a second data communication connection between the first computing device and the second computing device, wherein the second data communication connection is at least initially configured to utilize the at least one value of the at least one communication protocol parameter as at least one communication protocol parameter for the second data communication connection;
• exchanging, by the first computing device with the second computing device, data via the second data communication connection;
• and
• transmitting, from the first computing device to a third computing device, data corresponding to the second data communication connection with the second computing device, wherein the data enables the third computing device to determine at least one value of at least one communication protocol parameter corresponding to a third data communication connection between the second computing device and the third computing device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for data communication between a first computing device and a second computing device, the operations comprising:

• determining, at the first computing device, at least one value of at least one communication protocol parameter corresponding to a first data communication connection with the second computing device;
• establishing, at the first computing device, a second data communication connection between the first computing device and the second computing device, wherein the second data communication connection is at least initially configured to utilize the at least one value of the at least one communication protocol parameter as at least one communication protocol parameter for the second data communication connection;
• exchanging, by the first computing device with the second computing device, data via the second data communication connection;
• and
• transmitting, from the first computing device to a third computing device, data corresponding to the second data communication connection with the second computing device, wherein the data enables the third computing device to determine at least one value of at least one communication protocol parameter corresponding to a third data communication connection between the second computing device and the third computing device.
