Abstract
An exemplary data transfer manager includes a datacenter configured to communicate over at least one link and a scheduler that is configured to schedule a plurality of jobs for communicating data from the datacenter. The scheduler determines a minimum bandwidth requirement of each job and determines a maximum bandwidth limit of each job. The scheduler determines a flex parameter of each job. The flex parameter indicates how much a data transfer rate can vary between adjacent data transfer periods for the job.
