Abstract:
1. A method comprising: establishing a compression level for each of a plurality of data flows in a network node; evaluating computational resources of the network node, a quantity of data passing through the network node, and a type of data passing through the network node to identify the node conditions for the network node; selecting, based on the established compression levels and the identified node conditions for the network node, a compression schedule for each of the data flows estimated to enable compression of the data flows to the established compression levels given the identified node conditions; obtaining feedback information indicating that a first data flow is incompressible by the network node to the compression level or is not at a maximum compression when performing compression of the first data flow using the compression schedule selected for the first data flow; generating a modified compression schedule for the first data flow that is estimated to enable compression of the first data flow to the established compression level or a maximum compression level given the identified node conditions and feedback information; and compressing the first data flow in accordance with the modified compression schedule.
