Claim Text:
1. A method of managing intra-access node traffic, the method comprising: receiving a first data flow at a gateway node from a first access node and, based on the received first data flow, determining an associated first throughput; inspecting a second data flow received from the gateway node at an inspection node and, based on the inspection, determining a second throughput associated with the second data flow; identifying, at the gateway node, one or more peer-to-peer data flows sent from the gateway node to at least a second access node, wherein each of the one or more peer-to-peer data flows is identified based on: determining that a third throughput associated with each of the one or more peer-to-peer data flows meets a threshold; and, adjusting at least one of the one or more peer-to-peer data flows exceeding a predefined usage threshold to meet a total traffic threshold.
