METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR RESOURCE OPTIMIZATION

Abstract:

A method for optimizing network device resources that includes receiving, by an optimizer, first resource utilization data, making a first determination, based on the first resource utilization data, that resource utilization exceeds an upper threshold, starting, based on the first determination, an optimization process, that includes identifying a resource optimization entry of a resource class optimization queue, and initiating optimization of a resource fragment specified by the resource optimization entry. After initiating optimization of the region of the memory, the method additionally includes receiving second resource utilization data, making a second determination, based on the second resource utilization data, that the resource utilization is below a lower threshold, and halting, based on the second determination, the optimization process.
