Abstract
The invention provides a method and apparatus for network congestion management. The method includes inserting a probe frame into data traffic in the network from a first endpoint in the network, reflecting the probe frame from a second endpoint in the network back to the first endpoint, receiving the reflected probe frame at the first endpoint via the network, determining a round-trip delay based on flow of the probe frame through the network, and throttling network traffic according to the determined delay to manage network traffic congestion.
