Appl. No.:

11/892521

Inventors:

Richard Way - Berkeley Lake GA, US
David Pullen - Buford GA, US

Assignee:

Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA

International Classification:

G06F 15/177

US Classification:

709206, 709233, 709230, 370229

Abstract:

Methods, systems and computer program products for dynamically modifying at least one connection parameter between a client and a server connected via a network and thereby increasing throughput rate between the server and the client are provided. The method comprises determining a first parameter value based on one or more characteristics of the network and a connection between the client and the server. The method further comprises determining whether a second parameter value encoded in a connection parameter field of the first packet received from the client is optimum based on a comparison with the first parameter value and overwriting the second parameter value with the first parameter value, if the second parameter value is not optimum.

International Classification:

H04L 29/08

US Classification:

370474

Abstract:

A method for passing ingress and egress jumbo frames and maximizing the use of frame bursts in a cable modem including, receiving from a client device one or more packets to be transmitted over a communication channel, queuing the one or more packets, determining a maximum size of a burst frame transmitted over the communication channel, adding each of the one or more packets in their entirety to the burst frame until the maximum size of the burst frame is reached, determining whether the burst frame has available space, when space is available, fragmenting a packet of the one or more packets into at least a first and a second fragment packet, wherein the first fragment packet has a size substantially equal to the available space of burst frame, and adding the first fragment packet to the burst frame and transmitting the burst frame during a transmit window.
