  • Publication number: 20230362099
    Abstract: Example embodiments describe a method for managing data traffic congestion in a network communication node. The method comprising maintaining a marking probability based on a marking ratio indicative of a change in packets responsible for congestion in a network queue in the network communication node over a change in a total number of packets processed by the network queue. The method further comprising classifying packets processed by the network queue as scalable packets or other packets based on an identifier included in the packets; wherein the scalable packets support scalable congestion control. The method further comprising marking the scalable packets responsible for congestion in the network queue with a congestion mark to signal data traffic congestion; and marking the other packets that support unscalable congestion control with the congestion mark based on the marking probability.

  • Patent number: 11751094
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to the management of data traffic congestion in a network communication node, the network communication node comprising a queue buffer configured to respectively enqueue packets at an input and dequeue packets at an output, and an Active Queue Management (AQM) module configured to determine a drop or a mark decision for a packet based on control parameters, wherein values for the control parameters are derived based on values of queue parameters weighted with respective weight factors and their associated target values, values of queue parameters and their associated target values weighted with respective weight factors, or a combination thereof.
