Computing System Congestion Management Using Exponential Smoothing Forecasting
share
An overloaded computer must finish what it starts and not start what will fail or hang. A congestion management algorithm the author developed, and Siemens Corporation patented for telecom products, effectively manages traffic overload with its unique formulation of Exponential Smoothing forecasting. Siemens filed for exclusive rights to this technique in 2003 and obtained US patent US7301903B2 in 2007 with this author, an employee at the time of the filing, the sole inventor. A computer program, written in C language, which exercises the methodology is listed at the end of this document.
