Abstract

See full text

The receipt at a network access device of an acknowledgement packet from a destination host is anticipated upon the receipt at the network access device of a data packet destined to the host from a centralized scheduler. The access device generates a bandwidth request for sending the acknowledgement packet and sends the bandwidth request to the scheduler before the anticipated acknowledgement packet is received from the host. If aggregation is enabled, the bandwidth request may request enough bandwidth to forward a predetermined number of acknowledgement packets from the host to the scheduler. Aggregation and anticipation may be combined.
