The method also includes determining if the buffer is congested, responsive to determining that the buffer is congested randomly selecting an occupied unit of the buffer and determining the source of the packet stored in the occupied unit of the buffer and sending a congestion notification message to the source of the packet stored in the occupied unit of the buffer.
