1. A method of throttling data flow to a router, comprising:

  • throttling data that will flow through a router based on a priority class of the data; and

    updating the throttling parameter based on whether the data was throttled and a cost of router resources for processing a type of data,wherein the throttling step throttles the data based on a comparison of a throttling parameter to a throttling threshold associated with a priority class of the data, the throttling parameter representing a desired level of throttling for the router, and the throttling parameter being a deviation of actual throttling from desired throttling.
