Abstract
A system, apparatus, and method for determining network capacity and managing network congestion in response to a change in an end-to-end communication path between sender and receiver hosts. A receiver mobility notification is provided by the receiver host to the sender host. The sender host determines whether the receiver host has moved between networks or sub-networks using the receiver mobility notification. If the sender host determines that the receiver host has moved from one network/subnet to another network/subnet, a congestion state at the sender host is reset to correspond to the new end-to-end communication path established between the sender host and the receiver host in the new subnet.
