A method and system for controlling a plurality of sub-pipes in a computer network is disclosed. The computer network includes at least one switch. The plurality of sub-pipes utilizes the switch for transmitting traffic through the network. The method and system include allowing a minimum flow to be set for each of the plurality of sub-pipes and determining whether congestion exists for the pipe. The method and system also include controlling a flow in a sub-pipe of the plurality of sub-pipes only if congestion exists. Once congestion is determined to exist, the time set to control of sub-pipes is set significantly longer than for control over individual decreases or increases of the flows in sub-pipes. The flow is controlled such that the flow for the sub-pipe may be linearly increased if the flow for the sub-pipe of the plurality of sub-pipes is less than the minimum flow. The flow is also controlled such that the flow for the sub-pipe of the plurality of sub-pipes is exponentially decreased if the flow is greater than the minimum flow. In determining whether to increase or decrease the flow in a sub-pipe, a second definition of congestion may be used. Thus the traffic through the switch is stable.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant de réguler une pluralité de canaux de communication secondaires dans un réseau informatique. La pluralité de canaux de communication secondaires utilisent le commutateur pour transmettre le volume de trafic à travers le réseau. Le procédé et le système intègrent le fait de permettre la mise en place d'un flux minimal pour chacun de la pluralité de canaux de communication secondaires et de déterminer si le canal concerné est encombré. En cas d'encombrement avéré, le temps fixé pour réguler les canaux de communication secondaires est fixé pour une période sensiblement plus longue que pour réguler les baisses ou les augmentations individuelles du débit des canaux de communication secondaires. Le débit est régulé de manière que le débit du canal de communication secondaire puisse être augmenté de manière linéaire si le débit de la pluralité de canaux de communication secondaires est inférieure au débit minimal. Le débit est également régulé de manière que le débit de la pluralité de canaux de communication secondaires soit réduit de manière exponentielle si le débit est supérieur au débit minimal. Pour déterminer si le débit du canal de communication secondaire augmente ou baisse, il est possible de définir une seconde fois l'encombrement. Le volume de trafic à travers le commutateur est de ce fait stable.
