Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A method of congestion reduction implemented in an originating node of data link frames of a data flow;
wherein the data flow comprises data link frames of network packets of a data flow having a quality of service to be stored in a first queue on a network switch at a node, that is a congestion point (CP) in a network, for forwarding;
wherein the network switch at the CP comprises a plurality of queues for storing and forwarding data link frames of network packets of differing quality of service, the implemented method comprising:
receiving by the originating node a request to delay transmitting the datalink frames of the network packets of the data flow to be stored in the first queue at the CP;
responsive to the request the originating node delaying, by slowing for a period of time, the transmission of the data link frames containing network packets of the data flow.
