Abstract
A method and system to manage network congestion are provided. In one example embodiment, the method comprises receiving an indication of a rate increase request at a reaction point computer system, determining information indicative of a frequency of rate decrease requests during a period of time, and initiating a rate increase signal utilizing the information indicative of the frequency of rate decrease requests during the period of time.
Claims5
A method to manage network traffic congestion, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication of a rate increase request at a reaction point computer system;
- determining information indicative of a frequency of rate decrease requests during a period of time;
- and
- initiating a rate increase signal utilizing the information indicative of the frequency of rate decrease requests during the period of time.
A system to manage network traffic congestion, the method comprising:
- a first module to receive an indication of a rate increase request at a reaction point computer system;
- a second module to determine information indicative of a frequency of rate decrease requests during a period of time;
- and
- a third module to initiate a rate increase signal utilizing the information indicative of the frequency of rate decrease requests during the period of time.
A machine-readable medium having stored thereon data representing sets of instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
- receive an indication of a rate increase request at a reaction point computer system;
- determine information indicative of a frequency of rate decrease requests during a period of time;
- and
- initiate a rate increase signal utilizing the information indicative of the frequency of rate decrease requests during the period of time.
