A network device identifies a non-adaptive flow as follows. The network device drops packets on a random basis using a Random Early Detection (RED) algorithm. A classifier reads indicia of a flow from at least one field of a header of a packet received by the network device. The network device calculates...http://www.google.com/patents/US20050226149?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US20050226149 - Method of detecting non-responsive network flows
