METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR USING DYNAMIC BANDWIDTH DETECTION TO DRIVE QUALITY OF SERVICE CONTROL REFINEMENT

摘要

A method and system for adjusting computer network Quality of Service (QoS) controls to adapt to the dynamic nature of network circuit bandwidth. A network traffic management appliance determines the actual network bandwidth by measuring the actual used bandwidth and the unused bandwidth. The determined actual bandwidth is then fed back to the QoS management module to dynamically adjust to a shortage or excess of network bandwidth in comparison with a configured bandwidth.

1. A method of efficient network traffic management for improved operation of a computing device, the method comprising:
allocating a part of a bandwidth of a network circuit to provide network traffic to a computing device according to a policy based on a configured bandwidth of the network circuit; determining the actual bandwidth of the network circuit; adjusting the policy for allocating a part of the bandwidth of the network circuit for the network traffic provided to the computing device based on the determined actual bandwidth; and regulating the network traffic to the computing device according to the adjusted policy.
