ABSTRACT:
Packets being transmitted through a communication network are recognized as belonging to various individual flows. A property of each individual flow is measured by adding a value, such as a unity value or a packet length value, to a cumulative sum when each packet in the individual flow is recognized, and subtracting a fixed value from the cumulative sum at unit time intervals. The packets are prioritized according to the cumulative sum. This scheme enables network resources to be used preferentially for individual flows that do not cause congestion.
