摘要

Methods and systems of adjusting bandwidth allocation by a network element in a communications network includes monitoring a data flow traversing a target port, determining a bandwidth allocation for the target port, determining a fair-share bandwidth allocation for the target port, and adjusting the bandwidth allocation for the target port based on the fair-share bandwidth allocation. The bandwidth allocation for the target port is a bandwidth that is currently allocated for the data flow. The fair-share bandwidth allocation is a proportional allocation of a total bandwidth of the network element.

1. A method of adjusting bandwidth allocation by a network element in a communications network, the network element including a target port, the method comprising:
monitoring, by the network element, a data flow traversing the target port; determining, by the network element, a bandwidth allocation for the target port, the bandwidth allocation for the target port being a bandwidth that is currently allocated for the data flow; determining, by the network element, a fair-share bandwidth allocation for the target port, the fair-share bandwidth allocation being a proportional allocation of a total bandwidth of the network element; and adjusting, by the network element, the bandwidth allocation for the target port based on the fair-share bandwidth allocation.
