Pausing the data packets associated with a single traffic class may also stop the data packets associated with thousands of VLANs. The embodiments disclosed herein permit a network fabric to individually pause VLANs rather than entire traffic classes. | 2013-06-27 |
| 20130166774 | DYNAMIC NETWORK PROVISIONING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Methods and systems for dynamically provisioning a network are disclosed. A network may be dynamically provisioned by detecting network congestion due to data on the network, identifying a transmission from a source computer to a destination computer for distinct routing based on at least one packet of the transmission, directing at least one other packet of the identified transmission to be marked for distinct routing, and instructing a router to distinctively route the other marked packets in response to the detection of network congestion. A controller and a monitoring device may be used to implement dynamic network provisioning. | 2013-06-27 |
