1. A signaling network node comprising:

  • network interfaces, each configured for receiving a packet from a corresponding signaling node of a signaling network; and

    a processor configured for identifying each received packet as belonging to one of a plurality of groups of the signaling nodes, each group of signaling nodes including at least one signaling node, the processor configured for determining a corresponding message rate for each group of signaling nodes;

    the processor further configured for executing a congestion control operation for any one group of signaling nodes if the corresponding message rate exceeds a corresponding predetermined threshold for the one group of signaling nodes.
