Abstract
It is determined that a computing node is contributing to a network congestion event. A congestion notification message is generated. A timing profile is determined for sending the congestion notification message based on the level of the network congestion event. Based on the timing profile, the congestion notification message is forwarded to the computing node determined to be contributing to the network congestion event.
Claims20
A method for managing a computing network, the method comprising:
- determining, by a network device of the computing network, that a computing node is contributing to a network congestion event;
- in response to the determining, causing generation of a congestion notification message;
- determining a timing profile for sending the congestion notification message based on a level of the network congestion event;
- and
- based on the timing profile, forwarding the congestion notification message to the computing node determined to be contributing to the network congestion event.
A system for managing a computing network, the system comprising a network device and computing node, the system configured to perform operations comprising:
- determining, by a network device of the computing network, that a computing node is contributing to a network congestion event;
- in response to the determining, causing generation of a congestion notification message;
- determining a timing profile for sending the congestion notification message based on a level of the network congestion event;
- and
- based on the timing profile, forwarding the congestion notification message to the computing node determined to be contributing to the network congestion event.
A computer readable storage medium comprising computer readable instructions for managing a computing network, the computer readable instructions operable, when executed by a computing node, to perform operations comprising:
- determining, by a network device of the computing network, that a computing node is contributing to a network congestion event;
- in response to the determining, causing generation of a congestion notification message;
- determining a timing profile for sending the congestion notification message based on a level of the network congestion event;
- and
- based on the timing profile, forwarding the congestion notification message to the computing node determined to be contributing to the network congestion event.
