  • System and method for heuristic control of network traffic management
    Patent number: 10567467
    Abstract: A method for heuristic control of traffic management on a computer network, the method including: setting predetermined benchmarks for traffic; performing a traffic management control loop to determine at least one value of a quality of experience (QoE) metric, via a QoE measuring module, on the network based on the traffic flow; performing a heuristic control loop comprising: aggregating the at least one value of the QoE metric obtained from the traffic management control loop; determining a new benchmark based on the aggregation of the QoE metric, via a heuristic control module; and sending the new benchmark to the QoE measuring module.
    Type: Grant

  • Systems and methods for traffic management
    Patent number: 8904025
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and a method for managing network traffic. The traffic management system has a quality of experience (QoE) measurement module configured to monitor a QoE metric in real-time. A control module is configured to periodically receive the QoE metric and determine a traffic management action based on the QoE metric. A traffic management module is configured to apply the traffic management action to the network traffic.
