1. A machine-implemented method, comprising:

  • receiving a packet;

    identifying a flow comprising a plurality of packets based on the received packet;

    identifying an access control (“

    AC”

    ) policy based on the flow, wherein the AC policy comprises a priority rank of the flow relative to other flows in a flow set;

    tracking the flow in the flow set by at least the identified AC policy;

    marking the flow as being out of a virtual penalty box, if a bandwidth for the flow is available, wherein for the flow that is marked as being out of the virtual penalty box, every packet is forwarded to a destination; and

    marking the flow as being in the virtual penalty box, if the bandwidth for the flow is not available, wherein for the flow that is marked as being in the virtual penalty box, every packet is dropped.
