Abstract:
Micro-schedulers control bandwidth allocation for clients, each client subscribing to a respective predefined portion of bandwidth of an outgoing communication link. A macro-scheduler controls the micro-schedulers, by allocating the respective subscribed portion of bandwidth associated with each respective client that is active, by a predefined first deadline, with residual bandwidth that is unused by the respective clients being shared proportionately among respective active clients by a predefined second deadline, while minimizing coordination among micro-schedulers by the macro-scheduler periodically adjusting respective bandwidth allocations to each micro-scheduler.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer system, comprising:\n at least one processor; a network interface card configured to provide a bandwidth of an outgoing communication link shared by multiple clients individually subscribing to a predefined portion of the bandwidth; and a memory operatively coupled to the at least one processor and the network interface card, the memory containing instructions that are executable by the at least one processor to cause the computer system to:\n allocate the respective predefined portion of the bandwidth subscribed to each client that is active on transmitting via the outgoing communication link, by a predefined first deadline; \n subsequent to an initial period, allocate residual bandwidth of the outgoing communication link that is unused by the respective clients in an amount proportionate among respective clients that are active by a predefined second deadline, wherein the predefined first deadline and the predefined second deadline differ by a time interval of the initial period; and \n periodically adjust respective allocation of the bandwidth to each of the clients by repeating the allocating the respectively predefined portion or the allocating the residual bandwidth operations over additional periods subsequent to the initial period.
