Abstract
Systems and methods for managing and pacing data flows are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods may select a data flow for management, the data flow being transmitted from a first network equipment to a second network equipment, determine, at a third network equipment, a delivery performance of the data flow being transmitted to the second network equipment, detect network congestion based on the determined delivery performance of the data flow being transmitted to the second network equipment, and pace, at the third network device and based on the detected network congestion, delivery of the data flow to the second network equipment by reducing a rate at which the data flow is delivered to the second network equipment.
