Method and apparatus for performing congestion management

A method, apparatus, and queuing engine implement congestion management. The method may include receiving, via a first interface (120) of the apparatus (106), data traffic for forwarding to a node (108) of a network (102). The method may also include receiving, at a second interface (122) of the apparatus (106), a notification that indicates that congestion is affecting communication with the node (108), and responsive to the notification, accumulating the data traffic into a queue (124) for a given time period. The method may further include dequeuing the data traffic from the queue (124) after the given time period; and sending a portion of the data traffic to the node (108) via the second interface (122).
