SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING A NETWORK

摘要

Systems and methods for managing congestion in a network are disclosed. One method can comprise receiving a first congestion indicator at a network point and modifying a data transfer rate to an effective bandwidth in response to receiving the first congestion indicator. If a second congestion indicator is received within a predetermined time period, the data transfer rate can be reduced to a factor of a committed information rate. If a second congestion indicator is not received with the time period, the data transfer rate can be increased to a target transfer rate.
