Embodiments described herein relate to techniques for distributing shaped subinterfaces among physical interfaces of a port channel. Such techniques include receiving a request to configure a shape rate for a port channel subinterface; generating a physical interface set specifying: a first physical interface and a first allocated bandwidth associated with the first physical interface; and a second physical interface and a second allocated bandwidth associated with the second physical interface; making a selection, using the physical interface set, of the first physical interface based on the first allocated bandwidth being lesser than the second allocated bandwidth; assigning the first physical interface as a first anchor interface for the first port channel subinterface; and adding the first shape rate to the first allocated bandwidth to obtain a first new allocated bandwidth for the first physical interface.

Described embodiments include a system that includes a network interface and a processor. The processor is configured to identify, via the network interface, a state of congestion in a communication channel between a base station belonging to a cellular network and a client device, to calculate, responsively to the state of congestion, a maximum sustainable encoding bit rate (MSEBR) for a video that is being downloaded by the client device, from a server, via the communication channel, the video being encoded at a plurality of different predefined bit rates, and to inhibit the client device, in response to calculating the MSEBR, from downloading a segment of the video that is encoded at any one of the predefined bit rates that exceeds the MSEBR. Other embodiments are also described.

A system includes a device coupled to a processing device. The processing device is to receive a timing signal associated with a synchronized time. The processing device is further to synchronize a rate limiter of the device to the synchronized time responsive to receiving the timing signal, wherein the rate limiter is configured to schedule one or more workloads at a respective rate. The processing device is to receive a request to execute the one or more workloads, the request comprising a rate to execute each workload of the one or more workloads. The processing device is to execute the one or more workloads at the respective rate upon synchronizing the rate limiter.

A system includes a device configured to execute workloads coupled to a processing device. The processing device is to receive a request to execute one or more workloads, the request comprising two or more numbers corresponding to a rational value associated with a rate to execute the one or more workloads. The processing device is further to determine the rate to execute the one or more workloads responsive to receiving the two or more numbers corresponding to the rational values. The processing device is to execute the one or more workloads at the determined rate.

A system includes a device coupled to a processing device. The processing device is to receive a request to execute a plurality of workloads, the request comprising a rate to execute each workload of the plurality of workloads and a parameter value indicating an execution offset. The processing device is further to determine a sequence for executing the plurality of workloads based on receiving the rate and the parameter value, where the sequence is to execute each workload at the respective rate and each workload of the plurality of workloads is executed at a different time based on the parameter value. The processing device is to execute the plurality of workloads in accordance with the sequence upon determining the sequence to execute the plurality of workloads.

According to certain embodiments, a system comprises one or more processors and one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause one or more components of the system to perform operations. The operations comprise sending data from a hub to a spoke and receiving feedback from the spoke at the hub. The feedback is based on at least one of bandwidth utilization or occurrence of a congestion state detected by the spoke. The operations further comprise adjusting a shaper rate of an adaptive Quality of Service (QoS) shaper based at least in part on the feedback received from the spoke.

A data collection unit of an NW controller (6) collects, from an L2SW (5) constituting an L2NW (4), uplink observation data indicating traffic volume of a session request packet addressed to an application server 2 and downlink observation data indicating traffic volume of a session response packet transmitted from the application server 2, which are acquired by observing packets input to the L2SW (5). A control unit changes shaping rate of the packets addressed to the application server (2) through the L2SW (5) included in the L2NW (4) based on a ratio between the traffic volume indicated by the uplink observation data and the traffic volume indicated by the downlink observation data, or a ratio between an increment of the traffic volume acquired from the uplink observation data and an increment of the traffic volume acquired from the downlink observation data.

A buffer unit including a plurality of buffers, a sorting unit configured to sort an input signal to any of the plurality of buffers based on header information, a rate calculation unit configured to calculate a rate at which the input signal is read from each of the plurality of buffers based on burst information of the input signal, an adjustment unit configured to adjust a rate at which the input signal is read from each of the plurality of buffers based on the rate calculated by the rate calculation unit, and a transfer unit configured to transfer the signal read from each of the plurality of buffers are provided.

A transmission rate configuration method and an apparatus. An access point determines a service type of a service to which a data stream belongs and configures a transmission rate of the data stream based on the service type. The configured transmission rate meets a requirement of the service to which the data stream belongs, thereby improving flexibility of a transmission rate configuration process, so that a downlink data transmission process meets transmission requirements of different services.

This application discloses example service processing methods and apparatuses. One example method includes obtaining a quantity of transmission windows corresponding to each of n services within a unit time period or in a unit data frame, wherein the unit time period or the unit data frame comprises m transmission windows, a total quantity of transmission windows corresponding to the n services is not greater than m, and both m and n are integers greater than 1. Corresponding transmission windows from the m transmission windows can then be allocated to each service based on the quantity of transmission windows corresponding to each of the n services. Based on the transmission windows corresponding to each service, service data of then services can then be multiplexed into multiplexed data transmitted in one channel. The multiplexed data can then be sent.
