As the amount of transferred data increases world-wide, network data transfers may exhibit poor performance due to resource usage conflicts, even when enough resources are available (at a different place or at another time). Thus, efficient resource management and intelligent scheduling of the data transfers are required. These problems are, however, quite difficult to solve, both from a theoretical and a practical perspective. In this paper we propose several novel algorithmic techniques for the real-time scheduling of data transfers when the network has a tree topology. Some of these techniques can be later implemented in a (re)configurable data transfer scheduling framework.
