Abstract
A system and method for enforcing network policies is disclosed. Data is captured from network interfaces. A cell congestion level is determined from the captured data. Cells having a congestion level above a first threshold are identified. A first alert is transmitted to a network policy management entity when the cell is above the first threshold. Cells having a congestion level above a second threshold are identified. A second alert is transmitted to the network policy management entity when the cell is above the second threshold. The first threshold set at a point below a maximum capacity of the cell, and the second threshold set at a point near or at the maximum capacity of the cell.
