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 17):
The packet network according to  claim 11 , wherein the policy information and monitored information comprises at least one of:\n i) packet header information at any level of encapsulation; ii) received signaling information related to a flow identity; iii) a physical link on which a packet arrived or will depart; iv) measured rates applying to a flow rate of the packet flow, or the measured jitter in the packet flow rate; v) measured rates applying to total traffic on one or more packet flow aggregates which the new packet flow is associated with, or the measured jitter in the packet flow in such rates; and vi) determined trends in the measured rates over an interval of time or correlated trends in the measured rates on different packet flows or groups of packet flows on the same packet flow aggregate or different packet flow aggregates.
