Abstract
Among other things, flow rates of traffic among endpoints in a network are controlled. Notifications are received about flowlets originating or received at the endpoints. Each of the flowlets includes one or more packets that are in a queue associated with a corresponding flowlet. In response to the received notifications, updated flow rates are computed for the flowlets. The updated flow rates are sent to devices for use in controlling flow rates for the flowlets in accordance with the computed updated flow rates.
