ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for providing load information for one or more data streams within a network having a plurality of ingress routers, a plurality of core routers, and a plurality of egress routers is disclosed. a plurality of packets are received into a selected ingress router. Each packet belongs to one of several service classes, and the packets are being transmitted to a particular destination. A load value is metered for each service class and the particular destination of at least one of the packets. One or more tickets are periodically transmitted to the destination to indicate the load value for each of the one or more service classes. This load information is then utilized to dynamically allocate load for each service class at the destination.
