A mobile communication system includes a control device and a base station device. Data communication between the control device and the base station device is conducted using a fixed-length data size and a variable-length data size. The control device transmits information indicating whether a data size of the data communication has a fixed length or a variable length. The base station device receives the information from the control device.

In an example, a SDN controller may acquire a path maximum transmission unit (PMTU) of a Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) tunnel from a source VXLAN tunnel end point (VTEP) to a destination VTEP of a data packet, and may transmit a control entry to the source VTEP in such a way that an individual VXLAN packet has a length within the packet length corresponding to the PMTU.

An evaluation device includes a first evaluator configured, for each record used for transmission control of data circulating in a network, to evaluate extent of variation of an amount of the data, based on a history of the amounts of the data matching a condition of the record; a second evaluator configured, for each of the records, to evaluate a size of a space represented by the record, based on the condition of the record; and a calculator configured, for each of the records, to calculate an index value representing a possibility that a predetermined or a greater amount of the data matches the condition of the record within a fixed period of time, based on an evaluation result by the first evaluator, and an evaluation result by the second evaluator. Therefore, it is possible to evaluate a possibility of a sudden occurrence of a flow whose traffic volume is large.

A network device receives, from a client device, a request to perform a network speed test of a network connecting the client device and the network device. The network device conducts a trial test, involving data delivery between the network device and the client device, to determine an approximate capacity of the network. The network device selects an optimum data size based on results of the trial test, and selects a number of threads needed to saturate the network based on the results of the trial test. The network device controls conducting of the network speed test, using a control thread from the network device to the client device, wherein the network speed test utilizes the optimum data size and the selected number of threads.

Systems and methods are disclosed that reduce the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size associated with an output port when a jitter sensitive packet flow utilizes the output port. This may reduce the amount of jitter introduced into the jitter sensitive packet flow. In one embodiment, a method includes transmitting packets through an output port. The output port has an MTU size set to a first MTU value, and the packets have a size no greater than the first MTU value. The method further includes setting the MTU size to a second smaller MTU value, and transmitting other packets through the output port. The other packets have a size no greater than the second MTU value. The other packets include packets from a jitter sensitive packet flow. The method further includes subsequently setting the MTU size to an MTU value greater than the second MTU value.

A method is disclosed for more efficiently and economically transporting data on a network using network access links between the first switch, which is the entry point of the network, and an end-user device, which is either on a fixed link on a customer premises or is a mobile device. The method includes terminating one or more protocol sessions at the first switch and removing corresponding packet headers. The first switch creates a substitute packet, adding a substitute header that identifies the transport path and the communications connection. Removed headers are not delivered to the end-user device which processes received substitute packets into usable streams based on the substitute header.

An apparatus and a method are provided for transmitting data in an electronic device. A method for processing data in an electronic device includes in network connection, determining whether to send a packet of a first Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) value that is preset, a destination node, responsive to the packet of the first preset MTU value not being transmitted to the destination node, measuring an optimal MTU value in an Internet Protocol (IP) layer or an application layer, and changing the first preset MTU to the measured optimal MTU value.

A communication device performs communication with an external device. The communication device includes: a measurement packet transmission unit that transmits a measurement packet at a first transmission time point; a return packet reception unit that receives a return packet at a second reception time point, the return packet being transmitted as a reply to the measurement packet at a second transmission time point by the external device, the return packet including information relating to a processing time indicating a duration from a first reception time point at which the measurement packet is received by the external device, to the second transmission time point, the return packet having a same packet size as the measurement packet; and a delay time specification unit that specifies, as a round-trip delay time, a duration obtained by subtracting the processing time from a duration from the first transmission time point to the second reception time point.

The present application discloses a method and device for forwarding a data message. A specific embodiment of the method comprises: receiving the data message and reading a data context length value of a first row in the data message; determining whether the data context length value is less than or equal to a maximum segment size in a single transmission according to a transmission control protocol; reading data from the data message in segments in response to the data context length value being less than or equal to the maximum segment size in the single transmission according to the transmission control protocol; reading data from the data message in rows in response to the data context length value being greater than the maximum segment size in the single transmission according to the transmission control protocol; and storing the read data in a user buffer, and sending the data in the user buffer to a terminal if the data in the user buffer exceeds a preset capacity threshold. According to this embodiment, the data messages can be quickly and efficiently forwarded.
