Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide a network device that includes interface circuitry and packet processing circuitry. The interface circuitry is configured to receive incoming packets from a network and transmit outgoing packets to the network via interfaces. The packet processing circuitry is configured to detect a congestion associated with a packet that is sent from a source device to a destination device in the network and generate a notification packet that is destined to the source device. The notification packet is indicative of a packet flow that the packet belongs to and the presence of the congestion. The packet processing circuitry is configured to send the packet to the destination device via a first interface and send the notification packet to the source device via a second interface.
