IPC Code(s): H04L47/2425, H04L47/125

CPC Code(s): H04L47/2425



Abstract: systems, methods, and devices for network adaptive traffic shaping are described. the system includes a communication data network and a network device. the communication data network is configured to transmit data in the form of data packets. the network device is in communication with the communication data network for controlling the data packets travelling on the communication data network. moreover, the network device is configured to execute program code to carry out the following operations: monitor data traffic metrics of the data packets travelling on the communication data network, compare the data traffic metrics to data network requirements, determine whether the data traffic metrics is different than the data network requirements, and adjusting a data traffic shaper based on the determination that the traffic metrics is different than the data network requirements.
