ABSTRACT:
A controller controls the flow of messages in a communication system to a node. The controller monitors the rate of message rejection by the node and the rate of messages to the node passed by the controller. The rate at which messages to the node are passed is controlled on the basis of the monitored rejection rate and the monitored admit rate so that the rejection rate tends towards a target value. The maximum rate at which the messages are passed to a control value is limited.
