1. A method, comprising:
- identifying a plurality of flows associated with packets destined for an output port;
measuring a utilization associated with the output port; and
individually controlling rates of a plurality of the flows destined for the output port, at an input port thereof, based on the utilization to ensure that the utilization remains less than 99.9% and avoid buffering more than 400 packets with a correspondingly low delay.

Abstract
A system, method and computer program product are provided. In use, a plurality of flows associated with packets destined for an output port is identified. A utilization associated with the output port is further measured. Thus, rates of a plurality of the flows destined for the output port may be individually controlled at an input port thereof, based on the utilization to ensure that the utilization remains less than 99.9% and avoid buffering more than 400 packets with a correspondingly low delay.

18. A computer program product embodied on a computer readable medium, comprising:
-
computer code for identifying a plurality of flows associated with packets destined for an output port;
computer code for measuring a utilization associated with the output port; and
computer code for individually controlling rates of a plurality of the flows destined for the output port, at an input port thereof, based on the utilization to ensure that the utilization remains less than or equal to 99.9% and avoid buffering more than 400 packets with a correspondingly low delay.

19. A system, comprising:
-
an input flow manager for identifying a plurality of flows associated with packets destined for an output port; and
an output flow manager for measuring a utilization associated with the output port;
wherein the input flow manager individually controls rates of a plurality of the flows destined for the output port, at an input port thereof, based on the utilization to ensure that the utilization remains less than 99.9% and avoid buffering more than 400 packets with a correspondingly low delay.
