Abstract:
A communication device (202) minimizes an opportunity for a queue stall during a communication session employing a reliable transport protocol by setting a current mode of operation for a Radio Link Protocol (RLP) and, based on a quality of an air interface (118), switching to an RLP mode of operation different from the current mode during the communication session.
Abstract:
An arrangement (10) is provided for requesting and receiving consistent treatment for hosts having separate IP addresses but a common domain name. The desired treatment is provided utilizing DNS databases having new MURR-type resource records (107, 1000, 10002, 10004). The present invention can also be readily employed in wired communication systems, as well as intranet or local area network systems employing IP addressing, where multiple hosts having the same domain name need to get the same treatment from a client application, which communicates using the IP addresses resolved by a DNS server.
