A technique called "Adaptive Pacing" permits a receiving node, in a computing networking, to change the size of an information window during an active session. To effect the change, the receiving node sends an "Isolated Pacing Message" (IPM) to the sending node. Thereafter, the sending node adjusts the window size to conform with a window size value in the IPM. The IPM includes a type field, a reset window indicator and a next window size field. There are three types of isolated pacing messages. Two of the messages are used by the receiving node to control the flow of data; while the third message is used, by the sending node, to confirm the beginning of a new window and the ending of an old one.
A method for controlling the exchange of messages in a computing network, said network including a plurality of nodes coupled by a communications network with at least two of said nodes coupled by at least one session over which the messages are exchanged, said method including the steps of:
In a computer network having a plurality of nodes interconnected by a communications network with each node including means for establishing at least one session upon which messages can be exchanged between a sending node and a receiving node, an improved method for dynamically adjusting the window size of messages comprising the steps of:
In a computer network having a plurality of nodes interconnected by a communications network with each node including means for establishing a sessions upon which messages are exchanged between a sending node and a receiving node, an improved message format for carrying flow control information comprising:
In a digital data communications system wherein a plurality of nodes are interconnected by a communications network, a method for controlling the flow of data between a sending node and a receiving node comprising the steps of:
In a digital data communications system wherein a plurality of nodes are interconnected by a communications network, a method for controlling the flow of data between a sending node and a receiving node comprising the steps of:
An apparatus for controlling the exchange of messages in a computing network, said network including a plurality of nodes coupled by a communications network with at least two of said nodes coupled by at least one session over which the messages are exchanged, said apparatus including:
