Intelligent Traffic Management Service using Datarate Control Mechanism

Router is an important component of the network. Routers are placed where two or more network connects. Routers receive and send data using ports. This paper proposes a traffic management service at routers. The routers are deployed with datarate control mechanism to handle the network traffic. In other traffic control protocols, in order to compute the data sending speed, it is required to estimate necessary network parameters and compute amount of memory consumed. In our approach, router reads the datarate from the network interface thus by avoiding the computational overhead and resource consumption problems. Router receives file from sender node, it convert received file into packets based on the fixed length. Router sends processed packets to receiver node and checks whether it has reached maximum bandwidth. Router stops sending packets once maximum bandwidth is reached and waits until previous sent packets are delivered to receiver node. Router repeats this process for remaining packets available in the queue. Receiver re-assembles the received packets into a single file.
