Abstract
Provided are a method, system, and program for managing congestion in a network controller, which in one embodiment, substantially all packets having an assigned priority value below a selected priority level are culled. In another embodiment, selected flows of packets into a network controller are culled at selected culling rates. In one example, a selected flow may be drastically culled. In another example, all flows may be culled at a certain rate which does not exceed a maximum for each flow. In another example, culling techniques may be combined.
