Abstract

Some examples include performing traffic shaping for a network. For instance, a system may detect congestion in the network and may determine at least two traffic flows contributing to the congestion. The system may provide a user interface that includes information related to first and second traffic flows determined to be main contributors to the congestion from among the traffic flows contributing to the congestion. The system may receive, via the user interface, a selection of one of the first traffic flow or the second traffic flow as an indication of a user selection of one of the traffic flows as having a higher priority than at least another one of the traffic flows. Based on the indication, the system may send packets of the selected traffic flow according to the higher priority and send packets of the at least one other traffic flow according to a lower priority.
