Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a device in a network, an indication of a traffic shaping rate adjustment by a node in the network due to a network condition;
identifying, by the device, a set of network nodes that are associated with the network condition;
detecting, by the device, a traffic shaping rules violation by an offending node in the set of network nodes; and
sending, by the device, an instruction that causes the offending node to use a different traffic shaping rate.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a device in a network receives an indication of a traffic shaping rate adjustment by a node due to a network condition. The device identifies a set of network nodes that are associated with the network condition. The device detects a traffic shaping rules violation by an offending node in the set of network nodes. The device sends an instruction that causes the offending node to use a different traffic shaping rate.
