Zusammenfassung:	A method for minimising execution latency of a communication process provided for execution at a data processing system, the data processing system being coupled to a network and supporting a software interface, an application and a network protocol stack providing a communication process, and the method comprising the application periodically making a call to a dummy communication function of the software interface so as to cause the network protocol stack to perform the communication process without communicating data over the network.
