| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for optimising the traffic control in a packet communication network comprising at least one transmitter terminal ( 2), at least one receiver terminal (4), and a traffic regulator (6) provided between the transmitter terminal (2) and the receiver terminal (4), wherein said transmitter (2) and receiver (4) terminals exchange data packet segmen ts through a connection-oriented link supporting an acknowledgement-based tr ansport protocol. The method comprises the following steps: once a connectio n is established between the transmitter (2) and receiver (4) terminals, - i ntercepting at the traffic regulator (6) the packet segments from the transm itter terminal (2) to the receiver terminal (4), - generating an early ackno wledgment ACKa simulating the reception of said packet segments by the recei ver terminal (4) when the traffic regulator (6) transmits the intercepted pa ckets to the reception terminal (4), and - transmitting said early acknowled gment ACKa from the traffic regulator (6) to the transmitter terminal (2) so as to set the transmission rate of the packet segments from the transmitter terminal (2) at a rate determined by said traffic regulator (6).
