Abstract
Various communication systems may benefit from buffer management. For example, systems employing a packet data convergence protocol may be enhanced with network-side buffer management that is configured to manipulate transmission control protocol packet senders. A method can include receiving a plurality of packets at a buffer of a buffer manager. The method can also include manipulating, by the buffer manager, pacing of transmission control protocol senders of the packets. The method can further optionally include fair queuing the packets and/or performing flow incubation on the packets.
