Abstract
The present invention is related to an intermediate node, an end node, and method for avoiding latency in a packet-switched network.According to the invention, the maximum bandwidth per flow is determined locally and transferred from the sending node to the receiving node. At each node, the information is updated if a lower local value is computed. By adjusting the transmission rate based on the maximum bandwidth per flow receiving at the receiving node, the link capacity can be optimally utilized and congestion can be minimized.
