Automatic traffic and quality of service control system for communications networks

摘要

The present invention is directed to a system for controlling the quality of service and availability in a communications network. The system includes a processor which samples queue state information from selected intermediate nodes in the network and processes the queue state information to produce a traffic intensity map. The processor includes memory for storing said traffic intensity throughout the network as a traffic intensity surface and is configured to use the traffic intensity surface to control traffic in the network.
