Abstract
Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for managing network throughput. An application identifies at least one network connection of a plurality of network connections, wherein packets arriving via the one network connection require greater resources at a computational device relative to resources required by other network connections. The application determines if resources required at the computational device by the plurality of network connections exceed a threshold and eliminates the at least one network connection to the computational device.
Claims32
A method for managing network throughput, comprising:
- identifying at least one network connection of a plurality of network connections, wherein packets arriving via the one network connection require greater resources at a computational device relative to resources required by other network connections;
- determining if resources required at the computational device by the plurality of network connections exceed a threshold;
- and
- eliminating the at least one network connection to the computational device.
A system for managing throughput to a computational device having a plurality of network connections, comprising:
- an application managing the network connections, wherein the application identifies at least one network connection of the plurality of network connections, wherein packets arriving via the one network connection require greater resources at the computational device relative to resources required by other network connections;
- and
- a threshold indicating a level of resources used at the computational device, wherein the application eliminates the at least one network connection to the computational device if resources required at the computational device by the plurality of network connections exceed the threshold.
A system, comprising:
- a network;
- a computer;
- a plurality of network connections connecting the computer to the network;
- an application executing in the computer and managing the network connections, wherein the application identifies at least one network connection of the plurality of network connections, wherein packets arriving via the one network connection require greater resources at the computer relative to resources required by other network connections;
- and
- a threshold implemented in the computer, wherein the threshold indicates a level of resources used at the computer, wherein the application eliminates the at least one network connection to the computer if resources required at the computer by the plurality of network connections exceed the threshold.
An article of manufacture for managing network throughput, wherein the article of manufacture is capable of causing operations, the operations comprising:
- identifying at least one network connection of a plurality of network connections, wherein packets arriving via the one network connection require greater resources at a computational device relative to resources required by other network connections;
- determining if resources required at the computational device by the plurality of network connections exceed a threshold;
- and
- eliminating the at least one network connection to the computational device.
