Abstract
Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for performing congestion control for a particular packet flow associated with a source first host computer operating in a network. The method is performed at the first source host computer. The method determines a bandwidth threshold specified for the particular packet flow. Based on the bandwidth threshold, the method allocates an amount of bandwidth to the particular packet flow. The method periodically receives sets of contextual data associated with the particular packet flow. For the received sets of contextual data, the method iteratively (1) computes a current bandwidth consumption by the particular packet flow and (2) based on the sets of contextual data and the current bandwidth consumption, adjusts the amount of bandwidth allocated to the particular packet flow.
