Abstract: Most of the internet traffic today is carried out via the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The main advantage of TCP is that it provides reliable data transfer to the application layer and simplifies programming. The protocol maximizes data throughput but may also lead to noticeable transmission delay in wide area networks (WAN). A client-server based medical image viewing system is disclosed that achieves high data throughput over TCP without impacting responsiveness. Special timestamp messages inserted into the data stream allow the system to detect situations where network latency increases noticeably and to obtain a reliable estimate of sustained transfer bandwidth. The system applies a feedback scheme that avoids network delays by limiting send bandwidth. In addition other parameters, in particular image compression settings, are dynamically adjusted depending on current network quality.

Messages that are routed and delayed through the quarantine system may be executed at a better transactional value than other non-delayed messages.

Abstract: A technique manages bandwidth allocated among input/output operations, such as reads and writes, to storage devices coupled to storage nodes of a cluster. The technique balances the writes in a manner that reduces latency of reads, while allowing the writes to complete in a desired amount of time. The writes include write types, such as client writes, data migration writes, block transfer writes, and recycling writes, which are defined by differing characteristics and relative priorities. To ensure timely completion of the write types, the technique provides periodic time intervals over which the writes may be balanced and allocated sufficient bandwidth to access the storage devices. The time intervals may include shuffle intervals within a larger distribution interval. In addition, the technique throttles certain write types at the storage device level to maintain consistent read performance. Throttling is based on a credit system that allocates bandwidth as “credits” based on write type.
