A method for implementing traffic management is provided that includes communicating a copy of one or more incoming packets and identifying a volume associated with the incoming packets in order to communicate feedback information to a main central processing unit (CPU), the feedback information signaling that an intrusion detection system (IDS) module is expending a designated amount of resources. The feedback information may be responded to by restricting a number of additional incoming packets that are received by the main CPU.

System and method for implementing traffic management based on network resources

Devices, softwares and methods dynamically allocate bandwidth in ATM SVC connections. If there is an increase in the rate of demand, additional switched virtual circuits are opened for adding bandwidth. If demand decreases, some of the additional switched virtual circuits may be closed. A single pipe need be established for a number of these switched virtual circuits, to not affect operation of the upper network layers.
