发明名称 DYNAMIC RESOURCE ALLOCATION BASED UPON NETWORK FLOW CONTROL
摘要 One or more techniques and/or devices are provided for dynamic resource allocation based upon network flow control. For example, a first counter, corresponding to a count of communication availability signals provided by a network interface to a storage process, may be maintained. A second counter, corresponding to a count of communication unavailability signals provided by the network interface to the storage process, may be maintained. Responsive to the first counter exceeding a resource allocation threshold, additional resources may be dynamically allocated to the storage process during operation of the storage process. Responsive to the second counter exceeding a resource deallocation threshold, resources may be dynamically deallocated from the storage process during operation of the storage process. In this way, resources allocation for the storage process may be dynamically adjusted based upon real-time network flow control information indicative of whether the storage process is efficiently utilizing network communication channel availability.

主权项 1. A method comprising: identifying, by a storage server, a storage process configured to transmit data through a network interface over a network communication channel from a source storage computing device hosting the storage process to a destination storage computing device; maintaining a first counter corresponding to a first count of communication availability signals provided by the network interface to the storage process; maintaining a second counter corresponding to a second count of communication unavailability signals sent by the network interface to the storage process in response to data transmission requests sent by the storage process to the network interface; and dynamically adjusting a resource allocation of computing resources of the source storage computing device to the storage process during real-time operation of the storage process based upon the first counter and the second counter.
