Abstract
A method for managing network congestion is provided. The method comprises: receiving, at a receiver, a packet comprising a timestamp provided by a first clock of a sender; deriving, by the receiver, a latency value based at least in part on the timestamp provided by the first clock and a receipt time provided by a second clock of the receiver; determining a latency change by comparing the latency value with a previous latency value; and determining a state of network congestion based at least in part on the latency change.
