DYNAMIC BANDWIDTH CONTROL SYSTEMS AND METHODS IN SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKING |
摘要 |
A bandwidth control method implemented in a Software Defined Networking (SDN) network includes obtaining data for one or more services in the network, wherein each of the one or more services is controlled by an associated user-agent; determining future bandwidth requirements for the one or more services based on the data; determining service requests for at least one of the one or more services based on the future bandwidth requirements; and causing implementation of at least one of the service requests in order of priority. The process of prioritization uses a programmable network-wide logic and has the ability to consider information external to the network such as a user's Service Layer Agreement (SLA) and business priority. The entire bandwidth control method can repeat in cycles providing near real-time adjustments. |

1. A bandwidth control method implemented in a Software Defined Networking (SDN) network, the bandwidth control method comprising:
obtaining data for one or more services in the network, wherein each of the one or more services is controlled by an associated user-agent; determining future bandwidth requirements for the one or more services based on the data; determining service requests for at least one of the one or more services based on the future bandwidth requirements; and causing implementation of at least one of the service requests. |
