Claim 7:
8. A method for managing network traffic in a distributed environment, the method comprising:
determining policy data related to bandwidth management and at least one split criteria for a basis for shaping network traffic, via a plurality of logic nodes;
periodically: determining traffic flow data associated with each of a plurality of traffic nodes at an associated logic nodes;
aggregating traffic flow data among the plurality of logic nodes to provide bandwidth requirements and determining a traffic action based on each traffic flow and the policy data;
determining a fair split bandwidth for each of the plurality of logic modules and within each plurality of logic modules based on the policy data and communicating the fair split bandwidth to each of the plurality of logic modules;
splitting the traffic flows to at least two shaper objects based on the traffic action and the at least one split criteria,
creating 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;
coordinating the traffic actions for each of the fair child shaper object; and
sharing the coordinated traffic actions among each control processor associated with each of the plurality of logic modules.
