Abstract
A congestion control level method for a messaging system having a plurality of exit routers (104) coupled to a plurality of zone controllers (102) which includes determining a congestion control value based on the traffic type, and notifying the plurality of zone controllers over the control plane of the congestion control level on the audio plane based on the congestion control value. The traffic type can be audio, voice and/or data as described herein.
