ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for controlling traffic congestion includes: a transmitting processor including a packet classifying unit adapted to classify packets to be processed in a receiving processor and packets to be forwarded via the transmitting processor, the transmitting processor and the receiving processor having different traffic processing speeds; a buffer adapted to store the packets to be forwarded from the packet classifying unit to the receiving processor; and the receiving processor including a token driver adapted to output the packets stored in the buffer in accordance with a token bucket algorithm in response to an interrupt signal of the transmitting processor and to transmit the packets to a corresponding application, and a monitoring unit adapted to analyze and monitor a resource occupancy rate and a traffic characteristic used by the token driver to set an amount of tokens.
