Abstract
A piece of networking equipment facilitating efficient congestion management is provided. During operation, the equipment can receive, via a network, a plurality of packets that include portions of a data segment sent from a sender device to a receiver device. The equipment can identify, among the plurality of packets, one or more payload packets comprising payload of the data segment, and at least a header packet comprising header information of the data segment and a header-packet indicator. The equipment can determine whether congestion is detected at the receiver device based on a number of sender devices sending packets to the receiver device via the equipment. Upon determining congestion at the receiver device, the equipment can perform flow trimming by forwarding the header packet to the receiver device and dropping a subset of the one or more payload packets.
