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.
Claims14
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, wherein the utilizing of the information includes generating a plurality of rate increase requests a time duration between the rate increase requests of the plurality of rate increase requests based on the information indicative of the frequency of rate decrease requests during the period of time.
A system to manage network traffic congestion, the system 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, and to generate a plurality of rate increase requests a time duration between the rate increase requests of the plurality of rate increase requests being based on the information indicative of the frequency of rate decrease requests during the period of time.
A non-transitory 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, and
- generate a plurality of rate increase requests a time duration between the rate increase requests of the plurality of rate increase requests being based on the information indicative of the frequency of rate decrease requests during the period of time.
