Traffic management system for network with desired intent and classes
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11924040B2) discloses a method for traffic management on a network. The method involves determining a desired intent for a network operator's traffic, setting classes for traffic flow through a link (including a dedicated class for DNS signaling), allocating bandwidth based on minimum and target requirements, measuring user score for each class, shaping traffic flow accordingly, and assessing if the shaped traffic improves user score. If not, the shaping per class is reduced.
Additionally, the method includes estimating link capacity, adjusting capacity and target score if necessary, determining bandwidth for the network, and proportionally allocating bandwidth among classes if it falls below target requirements. The set of classes can be based on application type, and the user score is determined based on Quality of Experience metrics like Round trip time, Throughput, and Loss, at predetermined intervals of five minutes. This innovative approach to traffic management aims to optimize network performance and user experience by dynamically adjusting bandwidth allocation based on real-time user feedback and network conditions.
