Abstract:
Packet network node and method of operating packet network node. Conventional packet network nodes react to congestion in packet network by dropping packets in a manner which is perceived by users to be indiscriminate. In the described system, indiscriminate packet discards are prevented by causing packets to be discarded on lower priority flows and flow aggregates. Further action is taken to reduce the likelihood of packet discards through: (1) classification of flows that are not observable at the point in the network where flow-based packet discards are deployed, but are consuming bandwidth and signaling classification information to flow-based packet discard function or a flow-based monitoring function or network management function; (2) classification of flows making use of extended monitoring functions that are not co-located with a flow-based packet discard function, where extended monitoring functions may perform monitoring of a flow or a group of flows over a period of time.

Claim (Index 3):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein, responsive to a determination of a cessation of a packet flow or a group of packet flows or a packet flow aggregate,\n when the determination of the cessation is performed through a receipt of information included in the signals or through an observation of no further communication packet arrivals for a pre-determined time interval associated with the flow identity of the packet flow or the flow identities of the group of packet flows or the flow identity of the packet flow aggregate and the policy information indicates that there are Flow State Aware network functions that are located at different points in the packet subnet to be informed based on the determination of the cessation, forwarding the signals to the Flow State Aware network functions by the packet subnet or through the dedicated links, wherein the signals include the flow identity of the packet flow or the flow identities of the group of packet flows or the flow identity of the packet flow aggregate together with the determination of the cessation related to the flow identity of the packet flow or the flow identities of the groups of flows or the flow identity of the packet flow aggregate.
