NETWORK CONGESTION MANAGEMENT

摘要

Technologies for managing congestion of a communication channel includes a network device for receiving a network packet from a computing device destined for another computing device, analyzing network traffic flows over a communication channel established between the network device and an upstream network device, and determining whether the communication channel is congested as a function of the network traffic flows. Such technologies may also include storing the received packet in a local storage in response to determining that the communication channel is congested, transmitting an acknowledgement packet to the computing device in response to storing the received network packet local storage, and transmitting the stored network packet to the upstream network device in response to determining that the communication channel is no longer congested.

1. A network device to manage congestion of a communication channel, the network device comprising:
a communication module to receive a network packet from a computing device destined for another computing device, wherein the received network packet corresponds to a new network traffic flow of a plurality of network traffic flows over a communication channel established between the network device and an upstream network device; and a congestion management module to (i) analyze the plurality of network traffic flows over the communication channel established between the network device and the upstream network device, (ii) determine whether the communication channel is congested as a function of the plurality of network traffic flows, (iii) store the received network packet in a local storage in response to a determination that the communication channel is congested, (iv) transmit an acknowledgment packet to the computing device in response to the storage of the received network packet in the local storage, (v) determine whether the communication channel is no longer congested, and (vi) transmit the stored network packet to the upstream network device in response to a determination that the communication channel is no longer congested.
