Method and Arrangement in a Data Network for Bandwidth Management
First Claim
1. An arrangement associated with a resource managing capable entity adapted to reserve and return network resources requested from a first entity in a data network, characterised in that said arrangement comprises a first message rate limiter means (301) adapted to limit the rate of reservations request messages to the resource managing capable entity, a second message rate limiter means (302) adapted to limit the rate of resource return messages to the resource managing capable entity, and at least one message rate estimator means (303) adapted to adjust the message rate limiters between the reservation request signalling peak rate and sustained rates defined for the communication between the resource managing capable entity and a further resource managing capable entity.

Abstract
An arrangement associated with a Bandwidth Manager, BM, adapted to reserve and return network resources requested from a first entity in a data network. The arrangement includes a first message rate limiter element (301) adapted to limit the rate of reservations request messages to the BM, a second message rate limiter element (302) adapted to limit the rate of resource return messages to the BM, and at least one message rate estimator unit (303) adapted to adjust the message rate limiters between the reservation request signalling peak rate and sustained rates defined for the communication between the BM and a second entity.

7. A method in a data network comprising at least one resource managing capable entity, adapted to reserve and return network resources requested from a first entity, characterised in that the method comprises the steps of:
-
limiting the rate of reservations request messages to the resource managing capable entity, limiting the rate of resource return messages to the resource managing capable entity, and adjusting the message rate between the reservation request signalling peak rate and sustained rates defined for the communication between the resource managing capable entity and a further resource managing capable entity. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19)
