SUB FLOW BASED QUEUEING MANAGEMENT

摘要

Nodes and related methods are directed to grouping PDUs into sub flows based on information elements of the PDUs and selecting PDUs from sub flow according to a priority indicator calculated for each sub flow. The selected PDUs are sent in an order that provides a fairer resource sharing for real time like service sessions at the expense of bandwidth greedy applications. Reduced delay variability and/or reduced PDU loss probability may be obtained for real time like services when network transport resources are shared with bandwidth greedy services, such as file transfers over TCP.
