ABSTRACT:
A method for handling traffic in a communication network includes setting an aggregate limit on a total rate of transmission of information by a group of flows to be transmitted over the network, and setting a respective individual limit on an individual rate of transmission by each of the flows in the group. When the information carried by packets in any given one of the flows is in excess of the respective individual limit, the packets in excess of the respective individual limit in the given one of the flows are tagged with a first excess flow tag. When the total rate of transmission of the information is in excess of the aggregate limit, the packets in excess of the aggregate limit are tagged with a second excess flow tag. Resources in the network are allocated to convey the packets responsive to the first and second excess flow tags.
