Title: Systems and methods for quality of service (QoS) based management of bottlenecks and flows in networks

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1924932

Techniques based on the Theory of Bottleneck Ordering can reveal the bottleneck structure of a network, and the Theory of Flow ordering can take advantage of the revealed bottleneck structure to manage and configure network flows so as to improve the overall network performance. These two techniques provide insights into the inherent topological properties of a network at least in three areas: (1) identification of the regions of influence of each bottleneck; (2) the order in which bottlenecks (and flows traversing them) may converge to their steady state transmission rates in distributed congestion control algorithms; and (3) the design of optimized traffic engineering policies.
