Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Example embodiments of a system and method for providing a congestion measurement in a network are disclosed. In an example embodiment information is received at an information transfer rate, from a source network device. A sample of the information may be taken before the information is transmitted to a destination network device. In an example embodiment, a congestion measurement value is computed that corresponds to the sample and represented with at least two bits. A multi-bit indicator of the congestion measurement value is then transmitted to control the information transfer rate of information arriving in the future.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising: a source network device including at least one input-output port to communicatively couple with a sink network device via a transmission medium, the source network device including: a transmission control module to regulate an information transfer rate, the transmission control module being configured to: reduce the information transfer rate in response to receiving a multi-bit indicator, wherein the multi-bit indicator is generate…
