Abstract
Technologies are generally described to provide a congestion management system for a datacenter network. According to some examples, the congestion management system may detach management of congestion at the datacenter network from switches of the datacenter network. The congestion management system may also incorporate a distributed detection mechanism that is configured to detect a potential congestion culprit. Furthermore, detachment of the management of the congestion may allow the datacenter network to incorporate switches with limited traffic management capabilities. The switches may monitor a local congestion status and forward the congestion status to a centralized congestion controller that manages the congestion. The congestion management system may also be deployed for a cross-layer congestion management scheme.
