Abstract
Improved quality of service management for multiple connections between a sender and a receiver may be achieved by allocating a host-level transmission rate among the multiple connections based on a ratio of a weight associated with each connection and a sum of the weights associated the connections. Data packets associated with the connections may then be selectively transmitted to the receiver such that data packets having a highest difference between the allocated transmission rate and an actual transmission rate are transmitted first. The data packets transmitted to the sender may also be clocked using a transmission timer having period corresponding to the host-level transmission rate.
