Abstract: In an approach to an overlay network capabilities exchange for reserving high priority handling of packets, a computing device creates a transport protocol port map that correlates one or more inner protocols with one or more outer transport protocol port numbers. The computing device creates a priority bit re-map table that correlates one or more outer transport protocol port numbers with one or more levels of priority. The computing device then receives a packet having an associated protocol and an associated port number, and determines, based on the associated protocol and the associated port number, that the packet requires a level of priority of the one or more levels of priority that guarantees loss-less delivery of the packet.

Abstract: A method and system is described that adjusts the allocated capacity of a network between services, or service or traffic classes, in dependence on a congestion-influenced shadow price indication in respect of each service or class. In this respect, instead of viewing the congestion price as a cost of using already allocated unit of capacity, such a shadow price indication can be viewed as an indicator of the value obtainable from allocating an extra unit of capacity to a service or class. By so doing the shadow price indication becomes a factor to be taken into account in deciding on capacity allocation between services or classes, with a high shadow price indication for a service or class indicating that additional value would likely be obtained by allocating an additional unit of capacity to the service or class.
