Abstract
There is provided a method and apparatus to provide notification of change events for microburst mitigation. The method is used by a sending device and includes tracking changes in scheduled data to be sent in a traffic flow and identifying a positive change in an amount of scheduled data to be sent in the traffic flow. The sending device then marks one or more packets to be sent in the traffic flow with a notification field, and then transmits the one or more packets including the notification field. The notification field can then be used by a recipient device, for example a network element, to identify and mitigate microbursts in a proactive manner.
