Abstract
A system and method for managing distributed shaping in a computer network. The system including: a plurality of logic nodes, each logic node including: a packet processor configured to determine metrics associated with traffic flows in the computer network; a control processor configured to determine a quality value based on the determined metrics and communicate with each of the plurality of logic nodes; and a shaper object configured to shape the network traffic. The method including: initializing each logic node of a plurality of logic nodes; determining metrics associated with traffic flows in the computer network; determining a quality value based on the determined metrics; communicating the metrics with each of the plurality of logic nodes; and shaping the network traffic flows based on the quality value.
