Abstract
A system and method for dynamically policing network traffic based on egress queue status and a network node incorporating the system or the method. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a policing engine configured to receive egress queue status information and (2) a pushback calculator associated with the policing engine and configured to produce a reduction calculation based on the egress queue status information, the policing engine further configured to produce a throttle signal to reduce a traffic policing rate of an ingress queue.
