Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed for network congestion management. The methods and systems receive a first packet complying with a first network protocol comprising a first congestion indicator representative of a presence or absence of network congestion and further comprising a first set of data associated with a second network protocol, and provide an indication of the presence or absence of network congestion generated based, at least in part, on the first congestion indicator. The methods and systems also receive a first packet complying with a first network protocol comprising a first set of data associated with a second network protocol, and output a second packet complying with the first network protocol comprising a first congestion indicator representative of a presence of network congestion.
