Abstract
A system and method for adaptive congestion management uses measurements of usage of each edge network segment both per-customer and for each edge network segment as a whole. The technique then processes these measurements to determine what changes to make to allowed transfer rates to alleviate congestion. Adaptive congestion management also uses these measurements to determine when to remove any restrictions on transfer rates in the case that the edge network segment is no longer congested.
