Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A computing network implements a congestion control mechanism and a load balancing mechanism. The load balancing mechanism is run at the packet level. A connection-level measure is generated for congestion in the computing network. The connection-level measure is accumulated at the packet level. Activation of the congestion control mechanism is limited until the accumulated connection-level measure reaches a threshold.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A method for managing a computing network implementing a congestion control mechanism and a load balancing mechanism, wherein the load balancing mechanism is run at a packet level, the method comprising: generating a connection-level measure for congestion in the computing network; accumulating the connection-level measure at a packet level; and limiting activation of the congestion control mechanism until the accumulated connection-level measure reaches a threshold. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the connection-level measure is accumulated using exponentially weighted averaging. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the threshold is determined for the computing network based on analysis. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the threshold is determined for the computing network based on experimentation. 5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the threshold is determined for the computing network based on topology. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein connections in the computing network are allowed to traverse multiple paths simultaneously. 7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the connections in the computing network are qpairs. 8 . A system for managing a computing network implementing a congestion control mechanism and a load balancing mechanism, the system comprising a network device and computing node, the system configured to perform operations comprising: generating a connection-level measure for congestion in the computing network; accumulating the connection-level measure at a packet level; and limiting activation of the congestion control mechanism until the accumulated connection-level measure reaches a threshold. 9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the connection-level measure is accumulated using exponentially weighted averaging. 10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the threshold is determined for the computing network based on analysis. 11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the threshold is determined for the computing network based on experimentation. 12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the threshold is determined for the computing network based on topology. 13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein connections in the computing network are allowed to traverse multiple paths simultaneously. 14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the connections in the computing network are qpairs. 15 . A computer readable storage medium comprising computer readable instructions for managing a computing network implementing a congestion control mechanism and a load balancing mechanism, the computer readable instructions operable, when executed by a computing node, to perform operations comprising: generating a connection-level measure for congestion in the computing network; accumulating the connection-level measure at a packet level; and limiting activation of the congestion control mechanism until the accumulated connection-level measure reaches a threshold. 16 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the connection-level measure is accumulated using exponentially weighted averaging. 17 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the threshold is determined for the computing network based on analysis. 18 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the threshold is determined for the computing network based on experimentation. 19 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the threshold is determined for the computing network based on topology. 20 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein connections in the computing network are allowed to traverse multiple paths simultaneously.
