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 8):
The method according to  claim 5 , wherein on receipt of the signals including the identity of the new or existing packet flow or the identities of the group of new or existing packet flows or the identity of the new or existing packet flow aggregate, and when the one of the one or more Flow State Aware network functions receiving the signals performs monitoring functions relating to new or existing packet flows, groups of new or existing packet flows, or new or existing packet flow aggregates, the monitoring function at the one of the one or more Flow State Aware network functions receiving the signals may be adjusted so that:\n a) monitoring of the existing packet flows, or the groups of existing packet flows, or the existing packet flow aggregates is commenced on flow identities not included in the flow identity of the existing packet flows or the flow identities of the groups of existing packet flows or the flow identity of the existing packet flow aggregate included in the signals, so that trends or correlations on the existing packet flows or the group of existing packet flows or the existing packet flow aggregate additional to flow identities of packet flows included in the signals may be detected; and b) monitoring of the new packet flow, or the group of new packet flows, or the new packet flow aggregate is commenced on the flow identities included in the signals, so that packet losses and packet delays may be detected.
