Abstract
A method and system may allow for adjusting network latency experienced by a user. A first computing device may send a request to adjust the latency experienced by a terminal associated with a user. The request may be received at a second computing device which may identify a buffer size for to the terminal associated with the user. A new buffer size may be determined and adjusted for the identified buffer based on the received request.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a modem, packets associated with an application executing on a user device;
- determining, by the modem and based on content of the packets, a buffer size for a buffer of a plurality of buffers, wherein the buffer is configured to store data associated with the user device;
- adjusting, based on the determined buffer size, a current size of the buffer;
- and
- sending, to the user device and based on the adjusting the current size of the buffer, one or more additional packets associated with the application.

A method comprising:
- determining, based on content of packets associated with an application executing on a user device and based on additional information associated with the user device, a latency mode associated with the application;
- determining, by a computing device and based on the latency mode, a buffer size for a buffer of a plurality of buffers, wherein the buffer is configured to store data associated with the user device;
- adjusting, based on the determined buffer size, a current size of the buffer;
- and
- sending, to the user device and based on the adjusting the current size of the buffer, one or more additional packets associated with the application.

A modem comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the modem to:
- receive packets associated with an application executing on a user device;
- determine, based on content of the packets, a buffer size for a buffer of a plurality of buffers, wherein the buffer is configured to store data associated with the user device;
- adjust, based on the determined buffer size, a current size of the buffer;
- and
- send, to the user device and based on adjusting the current size of the buffer, one or more additional packets associated with the application.

An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- determine, based on content of packets associated with an application executing on a user device and based on additional information associated with the user device, a latency mode associated with the application;
- determine, based on the latency mode, a buffer size for a buffer of a plurality of buffers, wherein the buffer is configured to store data associated with the user device;
- adjust, based on the determined buffer size, a current size of the buffer;
- and
- send, to the user device and based on adjusting the current size of the buffer, one or more additional packets associated with the application.
