Abstract:

A system for forwarding packets between a first endpoint and a second endpoint, comprising one or more processors; a first network interface for communication with the first endpoint and a second network interface for communication with the second endpoint; and non-transitory memory comprising instructions. The instructions cause the one or more processors to receive a first packet from the first endpoint comprising a first data payload; generate a second packet, comprising the first data payload and an indicator of remaining buffer capacity different from an actual buffer capacity of the system; transmit the second packet to the second endpoint; receive a third packet from the second endpoint comprising a second data payload; generate a fourth packet, comprising the second data payload and an indicator of remaining buffer capacity different from an actual buffer capacity of the system; and transmit the fourth packet to the first endpoint.
