Abstract
A control node of a communication network is operated at a packet bandwidth determined according to observations of performance metrics of the network at the control point. These performance metrics may be one or more of throughput, average fetch time and packet loss. The control node is operated so as to set a control bandwidth to corresponding resonance points of the performance metrics. The resonance points are determined by scanning across a range of control bandwidths, until one or more of the performance metrics is/are optimized. The packet bandwidth is set by varying an inter-packet delay time over selected communication links at the control node.
