ABSTRACT:
Managing link bandwidth in a communication network having multiple routing devices is described. A connection path is requested across the network to establish communication from a sending process to a receiving device. Each device on the connection path is connected to a next device on the connection path by a link having an associated bandwidth. A connection admission control process is performed for at least one routing device on the connection path. A sending process reservation is determined as a function of sending process characteristics and QoS, network state, and admission policy. The application-aware reservation factor influences an amount of link bandwidth that is reserved for the sending process.
