Abstract
A method may include monitoring data packets at a data transmission channel. The data packets may be identified as nonconforming or as conforming data packets. Data packets may be identified as nonconforming if a data transmission rate would exceed a data rate threshold if the data packets were allowed to continue along the data transmission channel. Data packets may be identified as conforming if a data transmission rate would not exceed the data rate threshold if the data packets were allowed to continue along the data transmission channel. The nonconforming data packets may be retained as retained data packets. The retained data packets may again be identified as nonconforming data packets or conforming data packets after a retaining time. Data packets identified as conforming data packets may be released.
