Abstract
In one aspect, a method includes receiving a packet at a first node from a second node, wherein the first node and the second node are part of a network; determining if congestion exists in a primary route used by the packet; processing a packet drop event to establish a secondary route for the packet in response to determining that the congestion exists in the primary route; and restoring use of the primary route if an expiration time has expired. The expiration time is adjusted by an elapsed period and a congestion condition within the network.
