Abstract

Systems and methods for achieving high utilization of a network link are provided. A first communication protocol can be selected for transmitting network flows of a first type. A first quality of service can be assigned to network flows of the first type. A second communication protocol can be selected for transmitting network flows of a second type. A second quality of service, lower than the first quality of service, can be assigned to network flows of the second type. A first percentage of available bandwidth can be allocated to the network flows of both the first and second types. The remaining bandwidth, plus a second percentage of available bandwidth, can be allocated to the network flows of the second type, such that the total allocated bandwidth exceeds the available bandwidth of the network link.
