Congestion Control Method and Apparatus - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18157690 titled 'Congestion Control Method and Apparatus
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a congestion control method and apparatus for managing network traffic. Here are the key points:
- The method involves monitoring the usage information of a buffer in a device.
- When the usage information meets a specific condition (first condition), the method identifies one or more queues from the buffer.
- Congestion control is then applied to the identified queues.
- The first condition is determined by a threshold value associated with the buffer's usage information.
- The identified queues are those with a queue delay equal to or greater than a threshold or a queue length equal to or greater than a threshold.
- This approach allows the device to initiate congestion control measures based on the status of the buffer.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Network congestion management in various communication systems.
- Traffic control in routers, switches, or other network devices.
- Quality of Service (QoS) optimization in data transmission.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Congestion control helps prevent network congestion, which can lead to packet loss, delays, and reduced performance.
- By identifying and applying congestion control measures to specific queues, the method efficiently manages network traffic and ensures smooth data transmission.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved network performance and reliability by preventing congestion-related issues.
- Efficient utilization of network resources by dynamically controlling congestion in real-time.
- Enhanced user experience through optimized data transmission and reduced delays.
Original Abstract Submitted
A congestion control method and apparatus is disclosed. The method includes, when usage information of a buffer in a device satisfies a preset first condition, determining at least one first queue from the buffer, and performing congestion control on the at least one first queue, where the first condition includes a first threshold corresponding to the usage information of the buffer, and the at least one first queue is a queue whose queue delay is greater than or equal to a queue delay threshold or whose queue length is greater than or equal to a queue length threshold in a plurality of queues in the buffer. In this way, the device triggers a condition of congestion control based on a buffer status.
