METHOD AND NETWORK ELEMENT FOR PACKET JOB SCHEDULER IN DATA PROCESSING BASED ON WORKLOAD SELF-LEARNING

摘要

A method for packet job scheduler in data processing based on workload self-learning is disclosed. In response to receiving an incoming packet, the packet processor checks workload usage of an isolation group (IG) associated with the incoming packet, the IG being a classification of packets defined for the purpose of processing the incoming packet. The packet processor then determines whether the workload usage of the IG associated with the incoming packet exceeds a predetermined threshold. In response to the workload usage of the IG associated with the incoming packet not exceeding the predetermined threshold, the packet processor forwards the incoming packet to be executed by a packet execution unit, and then it updates the workload usage of the IG associated with the incoming packet based on execution of the incoming packet by the packet execution unit.
