CONTROLLING ESTABLISHMENT OF MULTIPLE TCP CONNECTIONS

摘要

A TCP connection controller (10) for controlling 3-way handshakes establishing multiple TCP connections between an initiating network node and another network node is described. It includes a TCP pressure limiter (12) configured to limit TCP pressure during network congestion by reducing the rate of a TCP message type (SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK) participating in the 3-way handshakes.
