Abstract
Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic management apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that monitor one or more messages generated by an application or one or more characteristics of one or more transmission control protocol (TCP) connections with a destination device or a source device. A determination is made when a first TCP push flag should be set for a first packet associated with data based on the monitoring. The data is provided by the application. The first TCP push flag for the first packet is set prior to the first packet being sent to the destination device via a first one of the TCP connections, based on the determination that the first TCP push flag should be set for the first packet. Accordingly, this technology more effectively manages TCP push functionality to reduce acknowledgement messages (ACKs) and thereby improve network bandwidth and device resource utilization.
