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 13):
The packet network according to  claim 11 , further comprising means to:\n a) detect cessation of a packet flow, the means comprising: i) means to detect the cessation of the packet flow, or the group of packet flows, or the packet flow aggregate through absence of any received packet belonging to the packet of the group of packet flows of the packet flow aggregate for a pre-determined time interval; and ii) means to detect the cessation of the packet flow, or the group of packet flows, or the packet flow aggregate by receiving signaled information including cessation information; and b) include the cessation information in the signals to be forwarded to the Flow State Aware network functions via the packet subnet or through the dedicated links, or means arranged in operation to receive the cessation information from the signals and means arranged in operation to delete a packet flow identifier from a store of packet flow identifiers together with classification information related to the deleted packet flow identifier.
