1. A method of introducing controlled delay in the processing of packets in a packet-switched data network, the method comprising:

  • determining that a packet should be delayed before being processed;

    determining a desired delay value for the packet;

    associating a time value with the packet based on the desired delay value;

    sending the packet on a delay loop path (DLP); and

    removing the packet from the DLP when the time value indicates.
