  • Systems, methods, and computer program products providing feedback for network congestion management
    Patent number: 9282049
    Abstract: A computer program product having a computer readable medium tangibly recording computer program logic for providing feedback in a network, the computer program product including code to receive first data and second data over the network at a receiving device, code to increment a first counter and a second counter in response to the first data and second data, respectively, code to generate a plurality of feedback signals reflecting states of the first and second counters using at least three bits, the bits defining a set of code points mapped to the states of the first and second counters so that each individual code point represents a different one of the states and each one of the states is represented by one code point, and code to transmit the plurality of feedback signals to a sending device in the network.
