Abstract
A system, method and computer program product are provided. In use, a plurality of flows associated with packets destined for an output port is identified. A utilization associated with the output port is further measured. Thus, rates of a plurality of the flows destined for the output port may be individually controlled at an input port thereof, based on the utilization to ensure that the utilization remains less than 99.9% and avoid buffering more than 400 packets with a correspondingly low delay.
