Abstract  Abstract

In a packet switching network, packet monitoring and marking algorithms are used for determining which data packets, received from a customer by an access node, are being transmitted at an excessive transmission rate and accordingly are marked. Additionally every packet from a special customer can be marked. Along in the network, marked packets are dropped where the network is congested along the path being traversed by the data packets.
