Abstract

Techniques for determining an optimal connection duration for a connection between a client device and a server across a network are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for determining an optimal connection duration for a connection between a client device and a server across a network comprising: identifying, using the client device, a network access point that communicatively couples the client device to a network; selecting a sever connection time period; initiating the connection between the client device and the server via the network based on the sever connection time period; determining whether a sever connection notification was received from the server within the sever connection time period; and adjusting the sever connection time period based on the determination.
