System and method for managing bitrate on networks

摘要

A method and system for managing bitrate of network traffic are provided. The method for managing bitrate of network traffic includes: receiving a packet; retrieving metadata from the packet and associating the packet with at least one traffic aggregate; determining a drop rate for the at least one traffic aggregate based on network flow data; and determining, based on the drop rate and the metadata, to forward or drop the packet. The system includes a packet processing module configured to receive a packet; a deep packet inspection module configured to retrieve metadata from the packet and associate at least on traffic aggregate with the packet; a control module configured to determine a drop rate for the at least one traffic aggregate based on network flow data; and a policy decision module configure to determine whether to forward or drop the packet based on the drop rate and the metadata of the packet.

1. A method for managing bitrate of network traffic comprising:
receiving a packet; retrieving metadata from the packet, wherein the metadata comprises the direction of the packet, and associating the packet with at least one traffic aggregate; determining a drop rate for the at least one traffic aggregate based on network flow data; and determining, based on the drop rate and the direction of the packet, to forward or drop the packet, wherein if the direction of the packet is in one direction, the packet is a candidate to be dropped to control an opposite direction bitrate of the network traffic.
