Abstract
A method and system (100) for controlling quality of service within a network of computers. The method includes a step of providing a network of computers, each being coupled to each other to form a local area network. The network of computers has a firewall server (110) coupled to the network of computers and a traffic management tool coupled to the firewall server. The method also includes implementing traffic control for incoming and outgoing information using a combination of flow control and queuing techniques.
Claims16
A system for monitoring quality of service within a network of computers, said system comprising:
- a network of computers, each being coupled to each other to form a local area network;
- a link coupled to said network of computers;
- a traffic management tool coupled to said link, said traffic management tool configured to receive a flow of information, the flow of information including TCP based information and non-TCP based information, said traffic management tool comprising a flow control module and a queuing control module, wherein the flow control module is configured to transfer said TCP based information and the queuing control module is configured to transfer said non-TCP based information.
A method of managing information at a gateway site for improving quality of service to a network of computers, said method comprising:
- providing a flow of information to a bandwidth management tool disposed at a server;
- classifying said flow information into at least a first portion and a second portion, the first portion including TCP based information and the second portion including non-TCP based information;
- applying flow control to said first portion of said information to be transferred to a first user location at said local area network;
- and
- queuing said second portion of said information to be transferred to a second user location at said local area network.
A system for managing information at a gateway site for improving quality of service to a network of computers, said system comprising a computer memory comprising:
- a first code directed to classifying a flow information into at least a rst portion and a second portion, said first portion including TCP based information and said second portion including non-TCP based information;
- a second code directed to applying flow control to said first portion of said information to be transferred to a first user location;
- and
- a third code directed to queuing said second portion of said information to be transferred to a second user location.
