Congestion Notification in a Network

摘要

One example provides a network device including a queue to receive in profile frames and out of profile frames, a processor, and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions causing the processor, after execution of the instructions by the processor, to determine whether a predetermined operating point of the queue has been exceeded, and in response to determining that the predetermined operating point of the queue has been exceeded, forward the in profile frames, sample the out of profile frames, and generate a congestion notification message for each sampled out of profile frame to be sent to a source of the out of profile frames to reduce the transmission rate of frames.

1. A network device comprising:
a queue to receive in profile frames and out of profile frames: a processor; and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions causing the processor, after execution of the instructions by the processor, to:
determine whether a predetermined operating point of the queue has been exceeded; andin response to determining that the predetermined operating point of the queue has been exceeded, forward the in profile frames, sample the out of profile frames, and generate a congestion notification message for each sampled out of profile frame to be sent to a source of the out of profile frames to reduce the transmission rate of frames.
