Abstract
A congestion notification system includes a networking device coupling a sender device to a receiver device. The networking device is configured to detect a congestion situation. When the networking device will provide a first congestion notification in a first packet received from the sender device in response to detecting the congestion situation, as well as retrieve sender device information from the first packet and store that sender device information in a database. Following the sending of the first packet to the receiver device, the networking device receives a second packet that was sent from the receiver device prior to the receiver device receiving the first packet. In response to determining that the second packet includes the sender device information that is stored in the database, the networking device provides a second congestion notification in the second packet. The networking device then sends the second packet to the sender device.
