Managing a network connection for use by a plurality of application program processes

摘要

A method, system, and/or computer program product manages a network connection for use by a plurality of application program processes. A set of application program processes, which utilize a network connection, are categorized into a plurality of categories. An optimum network connection parameter value is identified for each category of application program processes. A network connection is established for use by the set of application program processes. A usage of the network connection is determined by each of the application program processes. A network connection parameter is set for the network connection dependent on a respective usage and optimum network connection parameters of the application program processes.

1. A method for managing a network connection for a network in use by a plurality of application program processes, the method comprising:
categorizing, by one or more processors, a set of application program processes, that utilize a network connection, into a plurality of categories; identifying, by one or more processors, an optimum network connection parameter value for each category of application program process; establishing, by one or more processors, a network connection for use by the set of application program processes; determining, by one or more processors, a usage of the network connection previously used by each of the set of application program processes in a prior test communication session; setting, by one or more processors, a network connection parameter for the network connection dependent on a respective prior test communication session usage and optimum network connection parameters of each application program process from the set of application program processes; and in response to an initiation of the network connection, setting, by one or more processors, a parameter value of a current network connection parameter to a parameter value of a prior network connection parameter at a point in time at which the prior network connection was terminated.
