Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for identifying network congestion in a communication system. A connection manager identifies a number of packet delay times of a plurality of data packets within the communication system; determines whether the at least one packet delay time meets a threshold; and responsive to the at least one packet delay time meeting the threshold, adjusts a congestion indicator.
Claims18
A method of determining connection quality in a communication system, the method comprising:
- measuring a plurality of packet delay times associated with a plurality of data packets within the communication system;
- and
- determining the connection quality based on the plurality of packet delay times;
- wherein the step of determining the connection quality comprises:
- determining whether each of a number of consecutive packet delay times of the plurality of packet delay times is less than a second threshold;
- and wherein the method further comprises adjusting a congestion indicator to inactive if each of the number of consecutive packet delay times of the plurality of packet delay times is less than the second threshold.
A system for determining connection quality in a communication system, the system comprising:
- means for measuring a plurality of packet delay times associated with a plurality of data packets within the communication system;
- and
- means for determining the connection quality based on the plurality of packet delay time;
- wherein the means for determining the connection quality comprises determines whether each of a number of consecutive packet delay times of the plurality of packet delay times is less than a second threshold;
- and wherein the system further comprises means for adjusting a congestion indicator to inactive if each of the number of consecutive packet delay times of the plurality of packet delay times is less than the second threshold.
A computer program product comprising logic encoded on a non-transitory computer-readable tangible media for determining connection quality in a communication system, the logic comprising instructions for:
- measuring a plurality of packet delay times associated with a plurality of data packets within the communication system;
- and
- determining the connection quality based on the plurality of packet delay time;
- wherein the instructions for determining the connection quality comprise instructions for:
- determining whether each of a number of consecutive packet delay times of the plurality packet delay times is less than a second threshold;
- and wherein the computer program product further comprises instructions for adjusting a congestion indicator to inactive if each of the number of consecutive packet delay times of the plurality of packet delay times is less than the second threshold.
