1. A method for allocating bandwidth in a multi-node packet ring network, comprising the steps of:

  • at each node of the packet ring network, calculating a proxy to obtain a fair rate, the proxy calculated on the basis of per-ingress measurements of traffic on the packet ring network;

    distributing to upstream nodes of the packet ring network, the calculated proxy for the node; and

    wherein each upstream node modulates the rate of its traffic according to the bandwidth demands of the downstream nodes of the packet ring network.
