Network congestion control

摘要

Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a router receiving a first network packet being transmitted across a network path from a first endpoint to a second endpoint, determining that the first network packet does not include a requested rate, modifying the first network packet to include a requested rate in response to determining that the received network packet does not include a requested rate, and transmitting the modified first network packet along the network path to the second endpoint.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a first router from a first endpoint or a second router, a received network packet being transmitted across a network path from the first endpoint to a second endpoint; determining, by the first router, that the received network packet does not include a requested rate; determining, by the first router, that a network packet prior to the received network packet and within a same flow as the received network packet includes an indication, wherein the indication indicates that routers are permitted to set the requested transmission rate; modifying, by the first router, the received network packet to include a requested rate in a requested transmission rate field in response to determining that the received network packet does not include a requested rate and in response to determining that the prior network packet includes the indication; and transmitting, by the first router, the modified received network packet along the network path to the second endpoint.
