20090113069 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A CONGESTION MEASUREMENT IN A NETWORK - Example embodiments of a system and method for providing a congestion measurement in a network are disclosed. In an example embodiment information is received at an information transfer rate, from a source network device. A sample of the information may be taken before the information is transmitted to a destination network device. In an example embodiment, a congestion measurement value is computed that corresponds to the sample and represented with at least two bits. A multi-bit indicator of the congestion measurement value is then transmitted to control the information transfer rate of information arriving in the future. | 04-30-2009 |
20090238070 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO ADJUST CN CONTROL LOOP PARAMETERS AT A CONGESTION POINT - A method and system to adjust Congestion Notification control loop parameters at a congestion point are provided. The system comprises a monitor to sample a state of a congestion point the congestion point being to receive messages from a reaction point; a history generator to generate an updated reaction to congestion history by consolidating the state of the congestion point with a current reaction to congestion history, the current reaction to congestion history being associated with a current feedback message; a message generator to generate an updated feedback message based on the updated reaction to congestion history; a message update module to replace the current feedback message with the updated feedback message; and a communications module to communicate the updated feedback message to the reaction point. | 09-24-2009 |
20100157803 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO MANAGE NETWORK TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN NETWORKS WITH LINK LAYER FLOW CONTROL - A method and system to manage network traffic congestion in networks with link layer flow control is provided. The system comprises a physical queue monitor configured to monitor a state of a physical queue at a network device, a link layer flow control activator configured to activate link layer flow control based on the state of the physical queue, a proxy queue control module, a proxy queue monitor to monitor the state of the proxy queue, and a transport layer flow control activator. The proxy queue control module may be configured to update a state of a proxy queue based on the state of the physical queue. The proxy queue monitor may be configured to monitor the state of the proxy queue. The transport layer flow control activator may be configured to activate transport layer flow control based on the state of the proxy queue. | 06-24-2010 |
20100198671 | RECYCLING REWARD SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF - Systems and methods are provided for incentivizing and rewarding consistent and repeated recycling of recyclable materials. | 08-05-2010 |
20100302941 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO MANAGE NETWORK TRAFFIC CONGESTION - 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. | 12-02-2010 |
20110211449 | COMMUNICATION TRANSPORT OPTIMIZED FOR DATA CENTER ENVIRONMENT - Methods and apparatus for congestion control in computer networks achieve high burst tolerance, low latency and high throughput with shallow-buffered switches. A method for controlling congestion includes transmitting a set of data packets on a network connection from a first computing device to a second computing device, identifying each data packet in the set of data packets that experienced congestion on the network connection, sending, by the second computing device to the first computing device, a sequence of bits that represents the number of data packets in the set of data packets that were identified as having experienced congestion, and adjusting a rate of transmitting data packets on the network connection based on the sequence of bits sent to the first computing device. | 09-01-2011 |
