A method and mechanism for controlling network bandwidth by dynamically determing a current window size for a destination buffer. A first window size is determined for the destination buffer at a first time. Then, a current window size is determined a second time as a function of the first window size, a desired bandwidth value, and a bandwidth used between the first time and the second time. A desired bandwidth for a particular connection is achieved by an adaptive or delta-based approach rather than by use of round trip time (RTT) computations. Bandwidth control can be achieved by a software or a hardware bandwidth control mechanism. Possible applications of the bandwidth control is in a server or a quality of service unit.
