  • Bandwidth packing rate controller for optimizing resource utilization
    Patent number: 7936675
    Abstract: A bandwidth packing rate control technique includes altering bandwidth allocations of existing flows on a link depending on a current utilization of a current bandwidth allocation for a flow. A disclosed example decreases the bandwidth allocation for flows that are utilizing a current bandwidth allocation below a selected target utilization rate. Flows with higher utilization can receive increased bandwidth allocation, which provides increased throughput for such flows. One overall result of a disclosed example is increased utilization and increased throughput using existing bandwidth resources.
