ABSTRACT:
In general, the invention relates to a method for managing a network connection. The method includes receiving a request for the network connection from a host, where the network connection is associated with an overlay network. The method further includes sending, in response to the request, a first available bandwidth per flow to the host, and receiving packets from the host. The packets received from the host are associated with the network connection and the initial packet transmission rate of the packets over the network connection is based on the first available bandwidth per flow. Further, the first available bandwidth per flow is obtained by probing a first router in the overlay network to obtain a first available bandwidth associated with the first router.
