Claim 19:
20. The computer implemented method of claim 19, wherein the application-specific throttling operation comprises a first application-specific throttling operation, and further comprising:
determining whether the congested network link is still carrying the threshold traffic level of network traffic; and
selectively performing one of:
controlling the contributing application to implement a second application-specific throttling operation to reduce network traffic attributable to the contributing application based on determining that the congested network link is still carrying the threshold traffic level of network traffic, the second application-specific throttling operation configured to reduce network traffic more than the first application-specific throttling operation, or
controlling the contributing application to stop implementing the first application-specific throttling operation based on determining the congested network link is not still carrying the threshold traffic level of network traffic.
