Abstract
A system and method for managing data streaming data include the capability to receive a plurality of packets, each packet associated with a data connection, at least some of the packets being part of a data stream. The system and method further include the capability to perform congestion control by discarding at least some of the packets and to set an indicator in at least some of the subsequent packets in the data stream to indicate that packets in the data stream have been discarded if packets in the data stream have been discarded.
