SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING NETWORK TRAFFIC

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18336479 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING NETWORK TRAFFIC



Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of the present disclosure include techniques for managing network traffic. Congestion in queues between a source and destination may be detected. A queue with congestion may be elevated. Elevated queues may signal downstream queues that congestion is occurring. Elevated queues may have weights increased so that the queue can send more packets to an output port than other queues coupled to the output port during periods of congestion.
