Abstract
Embodiments of methods and systems for managing traffic across a WAN are disclosed. A method involves advertising an input rate limit across a WAN from a first node, advertising an input distribution array across the WAN from the first node, wherein the input distribution array includes forwarding class-specific weights, and adapting at least one of the input rate limit and the input distribution array in response to an error between a target forwarding class distribution and an observed input traffic distribution.
