Delays based on packet sizes

摘要

Techniques for delays based on packet sizes are provided. Request messages may identify the size of a data packet. Delays may be initiated based in part on a portion of the size of the data packet. The delays may also be based in part on target issue intervals. Request messages may be sent after the delays.

1. A method comprising:
sending, from a source node, a request message identifying a size of a data packet, to an output queue; setting a residual length of the data packet to the size of the data packet; while the residual length of the data packet is greater than zero, iterating the following pair of steps:
initiating a delay based on a Target Issue Interval for the output queue and a portion of the size of the data packet; andreducing the residual length by a length of the portion of the size of the data packet; and sending a subsequent request message once the residual length of the data packet is zero.
