ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and system for reducing congestion of real time data traffic on a multimedia communications network having a traffic control mechanism. Information regarding congestion of the multimedia communications network is first extracted from data traffic in the multimedia communications network. This extraction is performed by a network of monitors. Congestion is regulated by a central server, which receives network information from the monitors and utilizes the network information to analyze congestion status and communicate instructions to the multimedia communications network to reduce congestion.
