Abstract
A method for implementing TCP (transmission control protocol), the method including updating a number of pending requests received for data transmission via a TCP connection, the number of pending requests being called the message count, and making a decision regarding data transmission based on the message count regardless of a byte count of data to be transmitted.
Claims20
A method for implementing TCP (transmission control protocol), the method comprising:
- updating a number of pending requests received for data transmission via a TCP connection, the number of pending requests being called the message count;
- and
- making a decision regarding data transmission based on the message count regardless of a byte count of data to be transmitted.
A computer program product for implementing TCP, the computer program product comprising:
- first instructions for updating a number of pending requests received for data transmission via a TCP connection, the number of pending requests being called the message count;
- and
- second instructions for making a decision regarding data transmission based on the message count regardless of a byte count of data to be transmitted.
A system for implementing TCP, the system comprising:
- a TCP connection state adapted to update a number of pending requests received for data transmission, the number of pending requests being called the message count, and to make a decision regarding data transmission based on the message count regardless of a byte count of data to be transmitted;
- and
- an arbiter in communication with the TCP connection state, adapted to perform arbitration for TCP transmission.
