ADAPTIVE QUALITY OF SERVICE FOR WIDE AREA NETWORK TRANSPORT

摘要

An example method is provided and includes determining a time shift comprising a difference in time between a packet count observation at a transmit element and a corresponding packet count observation at a receive element connected to the transmit element via a link; obtaining a first packet count from the transmit element and a second packet count from the receive element; and adjusting at least one of the first packet count and the second packet count to compensate for the time shift. The method further includes comparing the adjusted first and second packet counts to determine whether there is a discrepancy between the counts and if a discrepancy is detected between the counts, adjusting a rate at which the transmit element sends packets to the receive element.

1. A method, comprising:
determining a time shift comprising a difference in time between a packet count observation at a transmit element and a corresponding packet count observation at a receive element connected to the transmit element via a link; obtaining a first packet count from the transmit element and a second packet count from the receive element, wherein the first packet count comprises an indication of a number of packets sent by the transmit element during a predetermined time period and the second packet count comprises an indication of a number of packets received at the receive element during the predetermined time period; adjusting at least one of the first packet count and the second packet count to compensate for the time shift; comparing the adjusted first and second packet counts to determine whether there is a discrepancy between the counts; and if a discrepancy is detected between the counts, adjusting a rate at which the transmit element sends packets to the receive element.
