Abstract

At an application executing in conjunction with a vSwitch a determination is made that a first flow from a first VM is experiencing congestion. The first flow is selected for throttling. a second flow is also selected for throttling, the second flow using a portion of a network path used by the first flow in a data network. At the application, a total CWND adjustment is distributed between the first flow and the second flow. A first CWND value associated with the first flow is adjusted by a first portion of the total CWND window, and a second CWND value associated with the second flow is adjusted by a second portion of the total CWND window.
