1. A real-time control environment for managing bandwidth allocation in a bandwidth-constrained network, the control environment comprising:

  • means of observing at least one session-level network performance parameter of a session-level bandwidth allocation process, the session-level network performance parameter comprising an associated value;

    means of observing at least one QoS-level network performance parameter of a QoS-level bandwidth allocation process, the QoS-level network performance parameter comprising an associated value;

    means of adjusting at least one session-level control parameter of the session-level bandwidth allocation process;

    means of adjusting at least one QoS-level control parameter of the QoS-level bandwidth allocation process; and

    a real-time control system, the control system comprising a first operation comprising a first time-scale associated with sessions, a second operation comprising a second time-scale associated with packets, and a third operation comprising both the first time-scale and the second time-scale,wherein the real-time control system performs control actions by adjusting the at least one of the session-level control parameter and the QoS-level control parameter;

    wherein the control actions comprise utilizing the value of the session-level network performance parameter and the value of the QoS-level network performance parameter as inputs to real-time control calculations, the real-time control calculations comprising the first operation, second operation, and third operation, andwherein the adjusting the at least one of the session-level control parameter is responsive to the first operation and third operation, and the adjusting the at least one of the QoS-level control parameter is responsive to the second operation and third operation.
