Abstract
Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to an adaptive partitioning mechanism responsive to observed latency conditions in a communications network. Embodiments of the present invention can be configured to adapt to changing network conditions and ensure that selected network applications meet desired QoS levels. In one implementation, the present invention provides a mechanism that adjusts the minimum bandwidth setting corresponding to a given partition in response to observed latency. According to one implementation, a latency threshold is configured relative to local queuing latency or a latency metric corresponding to the network itself. A process modulates the minimum bandwidth setting associated with one or more partitions in response to observed latency relative to the configured threshold.
