ABSTRACT:
A policy-driven network traffic manager recommends to individual application programs that generate network traffic whether, and optionally under what conditions, they should generate network traffic. The network traffic manager has an interface, through which the application programs, prior to generating network traffic, call the network traffic manager and describe the traffic the application programs propose to generate. A policy repository stores a set of policies, which the network traffic manager uses to ascertain whether the application programs should generate the proposed network traffic. The policies can include considerations such as time, link cost, latency, congestion and availability. The network traffic manager then sends the recommendations to the application programs.
