Abstract
A method for communicating data in a network environment is provided that includes receiving one or more packets for establishing a communication session in a network and determining which of the packets should be delayed. A selected one or more of the packets are delayed for a designated time interval in order to extend a roundtrip time (RTT) parameter associated with the selected packets. The selected packets are communicated after the time interval has expired.
Claims24
A method for communicating data in a network environment, comprising:
- receiving one or more packets for establishing a communication session in a network;
- determining which of the packets should be delayed;
- delaying a selected one or more of the packets for a designated time interval in order to extend a roundtrip time parameter associated with the selected packets;
- and
- communicating the selected packets after the time interval has expired.
An apparatus for communicating data in a network environment, comprising:
- a first network element operable to receive one or more packets for establishing a communication session in a network, the first network element including:
- a delay element operable to determine which of the packets should be delayed and to delay a selected one or more of the packets for a designated time interval in order to extend a roundtrip time parameter associated with the selected packets which are to be communicated to a second network element, wherein the selected packets are communicated after the time interval has expired.
A system for communicating data in a network environment, comprising:
- means for receiving one or more packets for establishing a communication session in a network;
- means for determining which of the packets should be delayed;
- means for delaying a selected one or more of the packets for a designated time interval in order to extend a roundtrip time parameter associated with the selected packets;
- and
- means for communicating the selected packets after the time interval has expired.
A computer readable medium comprising code for communicating data in a network environment, the code operable to:
- receive one or more packets for establishing a communication session in a network;
- determine which of the packets should be delayed;
- delay a selected one or more of the packets for a designated time interval in order to extend a roundtrip time parameter associated with the selected packets;
- and
- communicate the selected packets after the time interval has expired.
