Method and apparatus for network flow control |
摘要 |
A data transfer flow control system for a packet communications system includes a plurality of nodes interconnected by transmission links. The rate at which a sender node transmits information to a destination node in a network is modified in accordance with congestion information returned to the sender node from nodes along the path of the transmission or from the information receiver. The rate change for information being sent from the sender node is modified based upon the amount of elapsed time occurring since the last rate change of the same type. In first and second examples, the rate change is implemented in accordance with exponential and linear relationships, respectively, between the modified flow rate and the elapsed time since the last rate change.
