ABSTRACT:
A method of rate-control for a group of ports in a communication network. Ramping is performed for allowed-rate of each of the group of ports, if sum of the ingress-rates of the group of ports is less than a given rate threshold; and adjusting is performed for allowed-rate of each of the group of ports, if sum of the ingress-rates of the group of ports is greater than or equal to the given rate threshold, such that the sum of allowed-rates of the group of ports is equal to the given rate threshold.
