Patent attributes
A system and method for queue management is disclosed. The system and method includes at least: (a) monitoring, by one or more computing devices, a network node queue to determine a value indicating how much data is processed by the network node over a period of time; (b) determining, by the one or more computing devices, whether the value is below a threshold value, wherein the value being below the threshold value indicates a performance degradation of the network node; (c) based on determining the value is below the threshold value, removing, by the one or more computing devices, a remaining data from the network node queue; and (d) transmitting, by the one or more computing devices, the remaining data removed in (c) to a coordinator module for redistribution to one or more other network nodes to process the remaining data.
