Abstract
A method of transmitting packets over a network includes steps of partitioning a packet delivery schedule into discrete time slots; transmitting a plurality of test packets from a first endpoint on the network to an intended recipient in the network using different time slots; evaluating the reliability of the network to transmit the plurality of test packets in each time slot; and selecting one or more time slots in the delivery schedule according to the evaluation step.
