ABSTRACT:
A method and system for controlling the bandwidths of data traffic over virtual private networks are provided. The method includes classifying the data traffic for the virtual private network into different flows, monitoring a current bandwidth usage by at least one of the flows, comparing the current bandwidth usage with a predetermined threshold for the flow, and performing a bandwidth control operation for the flow if the current bandwidth usage exceeds the predetermined threshold for that flow.
