Background Traffic Management

Researchers at GW have developed a novel solution that serves to solve the problem of background traffic management in data communication systems. The solution has an enhanced performance in comparison to extant prior art. In data communication systems in computing products (with respect to storage traffic), given the increase in background traffic, functions such as repairing, rebalancing, backing up, and recovering require efficient techniques to effectively manage data travel from one point to another. The disclosed novel solution addresses issues directed to improper prioritization, scheduling, latency thereby allowing for a better quality-of-service.

The disclosed invention can be implemented as either a system, a method, or as a device as can be appreciated. The system or method or device can include various aspects as follows: (i) a sorting module configured to sort a plurality of tasks based on respective remaining time flexibility for prioritized task; (ii) an assigning module to assign resources to a given prioritized task; (iii) an executing module configured to execute the prioritized task. In some embodiments, the system or method or device can include a client node capable of performing a background process including the plurality of tasks in combination with an associated plurality of server nodes. In other embodiments, the sorting module can sort the plurality of tasks based on remaining time flexibility as can be appreciated.
