  • LOCAL CONGESTION MITIGATION
    Publication number: 20240048490
    Abstract: Local Congestion Mitigation re-routes traffic around a congested network segment without regard for end point destinations of the re-routed traffic. By inhibiting consideration of end point destinations, determinations of alternate routes are simplified relative to techniques that compute new end-to-end routes for traffic when a congested segment is encountered. These methods therefore remain relatively efficient as a network grows in size and network routes within the network become increasingly complex.
    Type: Application
