TCP pacing
In the field of computer networking, TCP pacing is the denomination of a set of techniques to make the pattern of packet transmission generated by the Transmission Control Protocol less bursty.[1] It can be conducted by the network scheduler.
Bursty traffic can lead to higher queing delays, more packet losses and lower throughput. [2] However it has been observed that TCP's congestion control mechanisms may lead to bursty traffic on high bandwidth and highly multiplexed networks [3], a proposed solution to this problem is TCP pacing. TCP pacing involves evenly spacing data transmissions accross a round-trip time. [1]
