METHOD AND SYSTEM OF DATA PACKET TRANSMISSION TIMING FOR CONTROLLING BANDWIDTH

摘要

A method and system for determining a wait time (tw) to be used between successive transmissions of packets of a content to achieve a selected target bandwidth BT for the transmission. The wait time between successive packets of a content being transmitted is determined as a function of the selected target bandwidth (BT) to be achieved during the transmission and the size (P) of the packets based on the algorithm t w = P B T The invention provides bandwidth control at the source (the sending device) without relying on network Quality of Service (QoS) facilities.
