Abstract
A method for controlling data transmission includes setting a respective rate criterion for each of a plurality of interfaces of a network element. Upon conveying a first data packet of a first size via a given interface of the network element at a first time, a time-stamp value is computed based on the first time, the first size and the respective rate criterion that is set for the given interface. A disposition of a second packet for conveyance via the given interface at a second time, subsequent to the first time, is determined responsively to the time-stamp value.
