Abstract
A method includes determining a delivery performance of a data flow being transmitted from a first network equipment to a second network equipment over a network; determining whether the network is congested based on the determined delivery performance of the data flow being transmitted to the second network equipment; and pacing delivery of the data flow to the second network equipment by reducing a rate at which the data flow is delivered to the second network equipment when the network is determined to be congested.
Claims14
A non-transitory computer-readable media (CRM) including computer programming instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- determining, using a time interval, a delivery performance of a data flow being transmitted from a first network equipment to a second network equipment over a network;
- determining whether the network is congested based on the determined delivery performance of the data flow being transmitted to the second network equipment;
- and
- pacing delivery of the data flow to the second network equipment by reducing a rate at which the data flow is delivered to the second network equipment when the network is determined to be congested,
- wherein the time interval is greater than or equal to two times a round trip time between the first network equipment and the second network equipment.
