Abstract
A modified stream-based protocol implementation is employed within a network environment to compensate for inefficiencies associated with conventional stream based protocols, such as TCP. Characteristics of a transaction-based protocol are advantageously utilized in client/server data transactions to reduce the number of acknowledgment signals sent upon receipt of data, as well as eliminate delays associated with the buffering of data at the server. These results are accomplished without requiring changes to servers using standard stream-based protocols.
