Dynamic bandwidth scheduling with transport network

摘要

Methods and computing systems for allocating an information rate to a particular traffic type of a plurality of traffic types of egress traffic is described. A state of the particular traffic type for a particular time slot of a current time period is determined. This includes determining the information rate such that a loss probability threshold is not exceeded, based on historical data of the particular traffic type. The historical data includes a plurality of observed throughput rates of the particular traffic type during a plurality of previous time periods at which the particular traffic type experienced the state of the particular traffic type. The information rate (e.g., a committed information rate) is allocated to the particular traffic type for the particular time slot.

1. A method of allocating an information rate to a particular traffic type of a plurality of traffic types of egress traffic, the method comprising:
determining a state of the particular traffic type for a particular time slot of a current time period; determining the information rate for the particular traffic type such that a loss probability threshold is not exceeded, the determining the information rate based on historical data of the particular traffic type, the historical data including a plurality of observed throughput rates of the particular traffic type during a plurality of previous time periods at which the particular traffic type experienced the state of the particular traffic type; and allocating the information rate to the particular traffic type for the particular time slot, wherein the information rate allocated for the particular traffic type differs from another information rate allocated for another traffic type of the plurality of traffic types of egress traffic.
