1. A network real-time monitoring and control system comprising:

  • a memory that stores executable instruction sets that define;

    a real-time network monitor operative to;

    monitor a network traffic flow of a network node;

    monitor a network traffic indicator associated with the network node for the monitored traffic flow; and

    store a monitored network traffic indicator measurement in a monitored network traffic database, wherein the monitored traffic indicator measurement provides a measurement of the network traffic indicator for the network node;

    an event manager operative to;

    receive the monitored network traffic indicator measurement from the monitored traffic indicator measurement database;

    receive a monitored network traffic indicator threshold associated with the monitored network traffic indicator from a monitored network traffic indicator threshold database;

    compare the monitored network traffic indicator measurement with the retrieved monitored network traffic indicator threshold; and

    generate a network event identifier based on the comparison of the traffic indicator measurement with the retrieved monitored network traffic indicator threshold;

    a real-time status analyzer operative to;

    receive the network event identifier from the event manager;

    correlate the network event identifier with a network node status identifier; and

    generate a request for a network traffic shaping control based on the correlation of the network event identifier with the network node status identifier; and

    a control manager operative to;

    receive the request for the network traffic shaping control from the real-time status analyzer;

    receive a calculated network traffic shaping control intensity for the network traffic shaping control, wherein the network traffic shaping control intensity specifies a network traffic intensity for the monitored network traffic flow of the network node; and

    output the network traffic shaping control, wherein the network traffic shaping control includes the calculated network traffic shaping control intensity; and

    a processor that executes the executable instruction sets.
