Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are provided for managing flow of datagram traffic, generally across networks. According to some of these methods, a flow control mechanism is used to avoid over-subscription of some ports without pausing extended areas of a network. According to other methods, a congestion control mechanism is used to minimize datagram traffic between a port sending datagrams to an over-subscribed port and the over-subscribed port itself.
