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 queuing 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 across a round-trip time.
