Method of controlling packet transmission interval

An apparatus for controlling a packet transmission interval, the apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores instructions to be executed by the processor by causing the processor to execute:
• a delay ratio initializer configured to initialize a first delay ratio according to at least one from among network bandwidth, size of data to be transmitted, and central processing unit (CPU) resources allocated to an application;
• a comparator configured to compare a first delay ratio with a number of packets transmitted;
• a packet transmitter configured to transmit packets until the number of packets transmitted becomes equal to or greater than the first delay ratio;
• a delay request time calculator configured to calculate a delay request time when the number of packets transmitted becomes equal to or greater than the first delay ratio;
• a delay processor configured to generate a signal for suspending packet transmission during the calculated delay request time;
• a gap time calculation configured to calculate a gap time based on a time difference between when the suspension of the packet transmission was terminated and when the packet transmission was resumed;
• and
• a transmission speed controller configured to update the first delay ratio to a second delay ratio based on the calculated gap time and initializes the number of packets transmitted,
• wherein the delay request time calculator is further configured to calculate the delay request time by multiplying the first delay ratio by a preset delay time, wherein the preset delay time is a time interval between transmissions of individual packets at a preset transmission speed.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored thereon a program which, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a method comprising:

• initializing a first delay ratio according to at least one from among network bandwidth, size of data to be transmitted, and central processing unit (CPU) resources allocated to an application;
• comparing the first delay ratio with a number of packets transmitted;
• transmitting packets until the number of packets transmitted becomes equal to or greater than the first delay ratio;
• calculating a delay request time when the number of packets transmitted becomes equal to or greater than the first delay ratio;
• generating a signal for suspending packet transmission during the calculated delay request time;
• suspending packet transmission according to the generated signal and calculating a gap time based on a time difference between when the suspension of the packet transmission was terminated and when the packet transmission was resumed;
• and
• updating the first delay ratio to a second delay ratio using the calculated gap time and initializing the number of packets transmitted,
• wherein the calculating of the delay request time comprises calculating the delay request time by multiplying the first delay ratio by a preset delay time, wherein the preset delay time is a time interval between transmissions of individual packets at a preset transmission speed.
