摘要:
Forwarding a flow in a network includes receiving the flow at a switch, determining an optimized priority queue level of the flow at the switch, and forwarding the flow via the switch using an optimized priority queue level of the flow at the switch. The flow passes through a plurality of switches, including the switch, in the network, and the optimized priority queue level of the flow at the switch is different from a priority queue level of the flow at a second switch of the plurality of switches. The second switch routes the flow at the second switch using the different priority queue level for the flow.

Local rules for managing flows devolved from a central controller are received at a switch. The central controller determines a global set of rules for managing flows. The switch receives a packet from a flow from a network and determines whether a metric for the flow satisfies a dynamic condition to trigger a metric report to the central controller. In response to a determination that the metric for the flow at the switch satisfies the dynamic condition to trigger a metric report to the central controller, the switch sends a metric report to the central controller, and the switch then receives an instruction to manage the flow from the central controller. In response to a determination that the metric for the flow at the switch does not satisfy the dynamic condition to trigger the metric report to the central controller, the switch manages the flow using the local rules for managing flows.

Allocating bandwidth in a network (100) may include reducing initial bandwidth allocations for each tenant on a link (113) such that a sum of the bandwidth allocations is equal to or less than a capacity of the link and distributing a residual of the initial bandwidth allocations to at least one under-allocated link (114).

A priority queue assignment technique for quality-of-service (“QoS”) network flows in a network is provided. A network path is determined for an incoming flow including a plurality of network switches associated, with a plurality of priority queue levels. A priority queue level is determined for the incoming flow for at least one of the plurality of network switches in the network path based on priority queue levels of existing flows. The priority queue level of the incoming flow is adjusted, to dynamically balance flows over the plurality of priority queue levels for at least one of the plurality of network switches in the network path based on quality-of-service (“QoS”) requirements associated with the incoming flow.

Optimizing priority queue levels for a flow in a network includes determining a path for the flow, determining an optimized priority queue level of the flow at each of a plurality of switches based on a Quality of Service (QoS) requirement of the flow and priority queue levels of one or more existing flows in the network. Information of the optimized priority queue level of the flow is sent to at each of the switches.

As an example, a system and method is provided for allocating network bandwidth. The method includes identifying congested and uncongested links using a tenant demand for each link and a tenant bandwidth cap. A portion of the tenant bandwidth cap may be allocated to each uncongested link based on the tenant demand on the uncongested link and the tenant bandwidth cap. Additionally, the remainder of the tenant bandwidth cap may be allocated to the tenants congested links based on a link capacity.
