Abstract
Network traffic is monitored to coordinate control of data flows. Data flows between sender hosts and a receiver host are identified. A first data flow and a second data flow have respective priorities. Delay thresholds are assigned to the first data flow and second data flow based on their respective priorities. One-way delays of data packets of the first and second data flows are monitored relative to the assigned delay thresholds. Responsive to determining that the one-way delay of the first data flow's data packets exceed a first delay threshold, transmissions of the first data flow's data packets are paused for a first amount of time. Responsive to determining that the one-way delay of the second data flow's data packets exceed a second delay threshold, transmissions of the second data flow's packets are paused for a second amount of time that exceeds the first amount of time.
