ABSTRACT:
A system and method of limiting communication rates within packet-based communication networks are disclosed. In one form, a method of altering communication rates within a communication network can include monitoring a data rate of a first communication link within a network, and detecting a congestion of a first end point coupled to the first communication link. The method can also include identifying the first end point, and determining a desired data rate of the first communication link to effect the congestion. The method can further include communicating at least one null packet to the first end point to alter the data rate of the first communication link at the first end point.
