Abstract
Method and apparatus are disclosed for a data communications system in which data packets are transmitted between two data terminal units wherein idle packets are transmitted whenever there is no data packet to send and such idle packets are utilized for detecting transmission errors in order to optimize data transmission efficiency by continually increasing, decreasing or leaving unchanged the size of data packets as a function of transmission errors.
