Abstract

A communication system (20) includes a plurality of Network Interface Controllers (NICs) (32) and one or more processors (28, 62, 64). The plurality of NICs are to connect multiple hosts to a communication network, the NICs supporting a configurable Congestion Control (CC) scheme (80) selected from among multiple CC schemes. The one or more processors are coupled to the communication network, and are to receive performance indicators indicative of congestion states occurring in the communication network due to communication of the hosts with one another over the communication network, the performance indicators being associated with respective times of occurrence, select respective CC schemes for one or more of the NICs based on the performance indicators and corresponding times of occurrence, and provision the selected CC schemes in the one or more of the NICs.
