Microburst Detection


Term
Microburst Detection

Abbreviation
 

Definition
Microburst Detection is the process of searching for microbursts in a network. Microbursts are the behavior seen on fast packet-switched networks, where rapid bursts of data packets are sent in quick succession, leading to periods of full line-rate transmission that can overflow packet buffers of the network stack, both in network endpoints and routers and switches inside the network.
