Abstract
Techniques for modifying data packet transmission strategies for a data packet transmitted through a network are disclosed. A node identifies a TCP stage of a data packet flow associated with a data packet received by the node. The node identifies additional characteristics associated with the data packet, such as a duration of the data packet flow to which the data packet belongs. The node modifies a transmission strategy of the data packet based on the TCP stage associated with the data packet and one or more additional characteristics of the data packet. The node modifies the transmission strategy for the data packet by increasing an aggressiveness of the transmission strategy or decreasing the aggressiveness of the transmission strategy. A more aggressive transmission strategy employs more proactive data packet acceleration techniques than a less aggressive transmission strategy.
