Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a network device, first traffic policy information associated with a first data stream in a network between a sender endpoint and a receiver endpoint of a first network session associated with an execution of a first type of application service, wherein the first traffic policy information includes first values for multiple traffic shaping policy parameters that apply to each of multiple data streams associated with execution of the first type of application service by other sender endpoints in the network;
forwarding, by the network device, the first data stream to the receiver endpoint;
receiving, by the network device, second traffic policy information associated with one or more of the multiple data streams, wherein the second traffic policy information includes second values for the multiple traffic shaping policy parameters which differ from the first values for the multiple traffic shaping policy parameters;
obtaining, by the network device, an acknowledgement message from the receiver endpoint;
modifying, by the network device, the acknowledgement message based on the second values for the multiple traffic shaping policy parameters instead of the first values for the multiple traffic shaping policy parameters; and
forwarding, from the network device, the modified acknowledgement message to the sender endpoint to control the first data stream.
