Systems and methods for managing a network

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a network device, based on a sliding window delay measurement associated with a service flow, first delay information, wherein the first delay information is associated with a sliding window delay measurement comprises a plurality of delay measurements, wherein at least one delay measurement of the plurality of delay measurements is associated with a randomly selected network point of a plurality of network points;
• determining that the first delay information exceeds a threshold;
• executing, based on the first delay information exceeding the threshold, a first congestion control process associated with the plurality of network points, wherein executing the first congestion control process comprises,
• determining, based on a peak rate (PR) value and a maximum burst size (MBS) value associated with a connection between the plurality of network points, an effective bandwidth for the service flow, and
• modifying, based upon the effective bandwidth, one or more of an ingress data rate associated with the service flow, or an egress data rate associated with the service flow;
• determining, based on a factor of a roundtrip time between a source point and a destination point, a time period;
• if second delay information is received within the time period, executing, based on another sliding window delay measurement associated with the service flow, a second congestion control process associated with the plurality of network points;
• and
• if second delay information is not received within the time period, executing a third congestion control process associated with the plurality of network points.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a network device, based on a sliding window delay measurement associated with a service flow, a first indication of network performance, wherein the sliding window delay measurement comprises a plurality of delay measurements, wherein at least one delay measurement of the plurality of delay measurements is associated with a randomly selected network point of a plurality of network points;
• determining, based on a peak rate (PR) value and a maximum burst size (MBS) value, an effective bandwidth for the service flow;
• causing, based on the effective bandwidth, a first modification of one or more of an ingress data rate associated with the service flow or an egress data rate associated with the service flow;
• determining, based on a factor of a roundtrip time between a source point and a destination point, a time period;
• and
• causing, in response to one or more of an expiration of the time period or receiving a second indication of network performance, a second modification, based on the effective bandwidth, of one or more of the ingress data rate or the egress data rate.
