System and method for minimizing data loss in a network
Disclosed are systems and methods for an optimal transmission rate for large quantities of data over a network using gambler strategies. The gambler strategies can include initiating a gambler of a generation including a plurality of gamblers and transmitting one or more packets for the gambler over a network at a transmission rate specified by the gambler. In response to a determination the gambler is finished the network to discharge. In response to a determination the generation is finished, determining a gain-loss of the generation and the plurality of gamblers can be adjusted to be inline with an inherent network data loss rate.
1. A method comprising:
initiating a generation of a plurality of gamblers;
initiating a gambler of the generation;
transmitting one or more packets for the gambler over a network;
in response to a determination the gambler is finished, waiting for the network to discharge; and
in response to a determination the generation is finished, determining a gain-loss of the generation and adjust the plurality of gamblers.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to a determination the gambler is not finished, transmitting additional packets over the network.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to a determination the generation is not finished, incrementing to a next gambler.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
initiating the next gambler of the generation;
transmitting one or more packets for the next gambler over the network;
in response to a determination the gambler is finished, waiting for the network to discharge; and
in response to a determination the generation is finished, determining a gain-loss of the generation and adjust the plurality of gamblers.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more packets are transmitting at the gambler specified transmission rate.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of gamblers are adjusted by incrementing a transmission rate to be closer to an inherent network loss rate.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the inherent network loss rate is determined by transmitting a probe loss packet after the network is discharged.
8. At least one non-transitory medium having stored therein instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
initiate a generation of a plurality of gamblers;
initiate a gambler of the generation;
transmit one or more packets for the gambler over a network;
in response to a determination the gambler is finished, wait for the network to discharge; and
in response to a determination the generation is finished, determine a gain-loss of the generation and adjust the plurality of gamblers.
9. The at least one non-transitory medium of claim 8 , having further instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
in response to a determination the gambler is not finished, transmit additional packets over the network.
10. The at least one non-transitory medium of claim 8 , having further instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
in response to a determination the generation is not finished, increment to a next gambler.
11. The at least one non-transitory medium of claim 10 , having further instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
initiating the next gambler of the generation;
transmitting one or more packets for the next gambler over the network;
in response to a determination the gambler is finished, waiting for the network to discharge; and
in response to a determination the generation is finished, determining a gain-loss of the generation and adjust the plurality of gamblers.
12. The at least one non-transitory medium of claim 8 , wherein the one or more packets are transmitted at the gambler specified transmission rate.
13. The at least one non-transitory medium of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of gamblers are adjusted by incrementing a transmission rate to be closer to an inherent network loss rate.
14. The at least one non-transitory medium of claim 12 , wherein the inherent network loss rate is determined by transmitting a probe loss packet after the network is discharged.
15. A system comprising:
a memory having stored therein instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
initiate a generation of a plurality of gamblers;
initiate a gambler of the generation;
transmit one or more packets for the gambler over a network;
in response to a determination the gambler is finished, wait for the network to discharge; and
in response to a determination the generation is finished, determine a gain-loss of the generation and adjust the plurality of gamblers.
16. The system of claim 15 , having further instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
in response to a determination the gambler is not finished, transmit additional packets over the network.
17. The system of claim 15 , having further instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
in response to a determination the generation is not finished, increment to a next gambler.
18. The system of claim 15 , having further instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
initiating the next gambler of the generation;
transmitting one or more packets for the next gambler over the network;
in response to a determination the gambler is finished, waiting for the network to discharge; and
in response to a determination the generation is finished, determining a gain-loss of the generation and adjust the plurality of gamblers.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more packets are transmitted at the gambler specified transmission rate.
20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of gamblers are adjusted by incrementing a transmission rate to be closer to an inherent network loss rate.
