Patent attributes
A dynamic network load regulating device includes a first network bridge, a second network bridge, a third network bridge, and a traffic monitoring module. The second network bridge and the third network bridge are further coupled to a plurality of terminal devices. Each of the network bridges includes a plurality of ports. The traffic monitoring module is configured to monitor the status of each of the at least one data transmission path associated with the second network bridge and the at least one data transmission path associated with the third network bridge. When one or more transmission path is in a congestion condition, the traffic monitoring module dynamically updates the path cost of each data transmission path to select a second data transmission path to transmit network data. A method for the dynamic network load regulating device is also provided.
