Abstract

Systems and methods for dynamic congestion management in communications networks are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a method can include determining traffic statistics of at least one node in a communications network. The method can also include determining whether the at least one node is congested based on the traffic statistics. Further, the method can include dynamically changing or provisioning a set of at least one traffic shaping rule for application to the at least one node in response to determining that the at least one node is congested.
