Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are described for managing congestion in a network. For a receiving node, a congestion status associated with a node in the network is determined. The congestion status is advertised to at least one other node in the network. For a sending node, a congestion status associated with a receiving node in the network is received. The congestion status corresponds to a measured node condition at the receiving node. A call is routed to the receiving node based on the received congestion status.
