Abstract
A method of improving latency time of a data transfer between a sender and a receiver, receiving an odd number of data segments from among a plurality of data segments the receiver determines if it is waiting for a further data segment of less than full size. The determination is based on a total number of data segments received, an amount of information expected in the data transfer, and a maximum segment size. If the receiver is waiting for a further data segment of less than full size then sending a message is sent to the sender that triggers the transmission by the sender of said less than full size data segment.
