Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices are described for flow congestion management. A series of packets may be received at a routing or other device. A group of active flows may be identified from the received series of packets. A determination may be made that the measured rate associated with the group of active flows exceeds a blocking threshold. Flows to be blocked may be selected using a blocking criteria. Packets associated with the blocked flows may then be discarded, while packets of unblocked flows may be forwarded for distribution. The rate for the group may be monitored, and flows may be selected for unblocking using unblocking criteria.
