Abstract
In the method of throttling data flow through a router, a load parameter, which represents allowable load on the router, is determined and a state of overload control determined based on the load parameter. Overload control mechanisms associated with the determined state are then implemented. One of the overload control mechanisms throttles data that will flow through a router based on a priority class of the data.
