Benefits of technology

The present invention is a computer system that can watch how data is sent to a destination. It can determine if the data is sent too quickly or too slowly. If it's sent too quickly, the system will adjust the way data is sent to make sure it's sent quickly enough. This way, the system can make sure that the data is always sent quickly and efficiently.

Problems solved by technology

These and other types of applications increase network bandwidth consumption.
One problem with these types of applications is that most networks have only a limited amount of bandwidth available for transferring data.
Currently available adaptive bandwidth control processes take into account the network conditions at the local interface level, either on the server or client computer and are unable to take into account other conditions that may exist in the transfer of data.

Abstract

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code to monitor transmission of data to target. A determination is made as to whether the transmission of the data exceeds a threshold. The bandwidth used to transmit the data to the target is controlled using an adaptive bandwidth control process if the transmission of the data exceeds the threshold, wherein a minimum amount of bandwidth is guaranteed for the transmission of the data.
