Systems and methods for bandwidth management in software defined networking controlled multi-layer networks

Abstract:

Bandwidth management systems and methods for a Software Defined Networking (SDN) network include obtaining network data related to downloads in a network and analyzing the network data to determine network services associated with the downloads; detecting congestion on one or more network services of the network services; and causing bandwidth orchestration for the one or more network services based on network resources available, policies associated with the one or more network services, and a state of associated downloads of the one or more network services.
