Abstract
A mechanism for partitioning of a transmission control protocol (TCP) window in a virtual system is disclosed. A method includes estimating effective bandwidth of a communication link between a group of client devices at a first location and at least one host machine at a second location, wherein each client device of the groups of client devices maintains a communication session over the communication link with one of the at least one host machine, partitioning a transport control protocol (TCP) window of the communication link into portions based on quality of service (QoS) policy data of the communication sessions, where each portion is associated with one of the communication sessions, and sending, to each client device in the group of client devices, a parameter identifying the portion of the TCP window partitioned for the client device, the parameter sent to communication endpoints of each communication session.
