SMALL PACKET PRIORITY CONGESTION CONTROL FOR DATA CENTER TRAFFIC
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a processor that executes or facilitates execution of computer executable components stored in a computer readable storage medium, the computer executable components comprising;
a network monitor component configured to determine a network congestion level of a network based on a function of a set of transmissions awaiting processing;
a congestion control component configured to;
determine a transmission mode based on the network congestion level and a function of a network congestion threshold; and
based on the transmission mode, determine a sending rate at which other transmissions are to be received for addition to the set of transmissions; and
a priority component configured to determine a priority of packets of the set of transmissions based on sizes of the packets.

Abstract
Network congestion management techniques are applied in a communication network. Network characteristics and target thresholds can be determined. A transmission mode can be determined. Further, a sending rate can be determined based on the transmission mode and network characteristics. In one aspect, network characteristics at a recent time can be determined to alter sending rates in a network to manage network congestion.

35. A system, comprising:
-
means for determining a congestion level as a function of a network parameter, wherein the network parameter represents a level of congestion associated with network devices of a network at a point in time; means for determining a transmission mode as a function of the network parameter; means for adjusting a sending rate of received transmissions as a function of the transmission mode; and means for prioritizing a set of packets awaiting processing, wherein the prioritizing determines respective processing priorities of the set of packets. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38)
