| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method for managing data flows in a network with a plurality of forwarding elements routing flows between network entities (UD, N, SN, FE) of a network or network domain (ND), wherein a) flows between network entities are marked with congestion information, preferably in form of resource utilization information, by at least one of the forwarding elements such that the highest congestion level prevailing on the respective flow path is indicated, b) the locations of one or more possible and/or present bottlenecks and/or congestions in the network based on the congestion information are identified, and c) one or more actions are performed to avoid, mitigate, and/or to resolve the identified possible and/or present bottlenecks and/or congestions. |
