Abstract
According to an example, coordination of adjustments to network frame hold time parameters between network devices in a network is initiated based on a trigger condition. Time data may be obtained from a plurality of network devices in the network, where the time data describes a network frame hold time parameter of each network device in the plurality and a network frame processing time of each network device. A set of affected network devices affected by network back pressure in the network, and a set of non-affected network devices in the plurality not included in the set of affected network devices, may be determined. Based on the time data, a pairing may be determined between a time-available network device from the set of non-affected network devices and a time-needed network devices, from the set of affected network devices, to receive an allocation of time credit from the time-available network device.
