CA 2464848

A technique for lessening the likelihood of congestion in a congestible node is disclosed. In accordance with the illustrative embodiments of the present invention, one node - a proxy node - drops protocol data units to lessen the likelihood of congestion in the congestible node. In some embodiments of the present invention, the proxy node receives a metric of a queue at a congestible node and, based on the metric, decides whether to drop protocol data units en route to the congestible node. In some other embodiments of the present invention, the proxy node estimates a metric of a queue at a congestible node and, based on the metric, decides whether to drop protocol data units en route to the congestible node.
