A system and method for dynamically policing network traffic based on egress queue status and a network node incorporating the system or the method. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a policing engine configured to receive egress queue status information and (2) a pushback calculator associated with the policing engine and configured to produce a reduction calculation based on the egress queue status information, the policing engine further configured to produce a throttle signal to reduce a traffic policing rate of an ingress queue.

System and method for dynamically policing network traffic based on egress queue status

A distributed database synchronization capability is provided herein. The distributed database synchronization capability may be implemented using one or more of a timer-based scheme and a token-based scheme. The distributed database synchronization capability enables synchronization of databases of nodes in various types of networks, including dynamic networks (e.g., such as rapidly deployable wireless networks) and various other types of networks. The synchronization of databases may include synchronization of databases as a whole and/or portions of databases (which may include any suitable database table or tables). The distributed database synchronization capability enables synchronization of databases of nodes under various dynamic conditions (e.g., synchronization of databases of nodes within a cluster of nodes, synchronization of databases of nodes between clusters of nodes, synchronization of databases of nodes by administrative domain, and the like).
