Abstract
A first network device receives a message from a second network device with an indication that the first network device is to adjust a data rate of data being received by the first network device. The first network device includes a first buffer space that is greater than a second buffer space of the second network device. The first network device determines a set of computing devices connected to the second network device based on receiving the indication and defines a set of first data rates to use to send data to respective computing devices. The first network device adjusts a second data rate of received data to send the received data through the second network device to a computing device at a first data rate defined in the set of first data rates. The first network device uses the first buffer space to perform the adjusting.
