Abstract
A method for shaping traffic across a wide area network is disclosed. The method involves advertising a data rate limit across a wide area network (WAN) from a first node, measuring the rate of data received at a WAN interface of the first node, and, if the measured rate of data received at the WAN interface of the first node exceeds a maximum threshold, advertising a reduced data rate limit across the WAN, and, if the measured rate of data received at the WAN interface of the first node is below a minimum threshold, advertising an increased data rate limit across the WAN.
