1. A method for controlling traffic on a communication network, comprising:

  • receiving, at a hardware processor in a receiver, a query message for permission to send a data flow to the receiver;

    sending, using the hardware processor, a permission message from the receiver;

    receiving, at the hardware processor, a signaling message that indicates a volume of data that has been sent to the receiver;

    determining, using the hardware processor, that at least one data packet is unauthorized if a volume of data that has been received by the receiver is greater than the volume of data that has been sent to the receiver as indicated in the signaling message; and

    in response to determining that the at least one data packet is unauthorized, causing the path for sending the data flow to be changed using the hardware processor.
