Claim 0:
1. A system for managing network traffic in a distributed environment, the system comprising:
a plurality of logic modules configured to determine policy data related to bandwidth management and at least one split criteria for a basis for shaping network traffic;
a control processor associated with each one of the plurality of logic modules, each control processor configured to determine data associated with each of a plurality of traffic flows at the associated logic module and to coordinate traffic actions over the plurality of logic modules wherein each of the control processors is further configured to determine a fair split bandwidth for each of the plurality of logic modules and within each of the plurality of logic modules based on the policy data;
a packet processor associated with each control processor and configured to determine a traffic action based on each traffic flow and received policy data;
at least two shaper objects configured to receive a split of the traffic flows and enforce the determined traffic action on their respective traffic flow; and
a data processor configured to receive a fair split bandwidth from the control processor and to create a fair child shaper object within each of the shaper objects for each split at the logic module based on at least one split criteria, wherein the traffic actions for each of the fair child shaper objects are coordinated and the coordinated traffic actions are shared with each control processor associated with each of the plurality of logic modules.
