Abstract

A method (300) and apparatus (200) for local adaptive provisioning at a node is disclosed. The method may include determining (320) a per packet latency for a class of packet network traffic in a queue of a plurality of queues for a plurality of classes of packet network traffic at a node, establishing (330) a reward function for the class of packet network traffic based on a packet latency limit, based on the per packet latency, and based on a source rate for the class of packet network traffic, and adjusting (340) provisioning of a queue at the node based on the reward function.
