Claim 17:
18. The method of claim 16, further comprising:
capturing egress bandwidth utilization metrics on the interface of the node;
initializing a congestion check interval (TC) during which the detecting of the congestion event is performed;
based at least in part on the average interface utilization (Y) being greater than the first threshold (X1), identifying the congestion event;
based at least in part on the average interface utilization (Y) not being greater than the first threshold (X1), capturing egress bandwidth utilization metrics on the interface based at least in part on the average interface utilization (Y) being not greater than first threshold (X1);
capturing user input for mitigation response;
based at least in part on a response to the user input, identifying excess bandwidth (Z) where the excess bandwidth (Z) is equal to the average interface utilization (Y) minus the first threshold (X1);
identifying all flows passing through the interface during a congestion check interval (TC); and
identifying the destination node prefixes.
