Claim:
1. A method performed by a computer system for identifying a job executing on a node, the job being a candidate for causing congestion in a network of nodes, the method comprising: determining an ejection rate of packets from the network to each node, the nodes in the network being connected via connection devices, each node being connected to a local controller and each of a plurality of the local controllers being connected to a supervisory controller via an out-of-band network connection, the determining being based on information collected by the local controllers during abatement; identifying at the supervisory controller a node as a candidate node for executing the job causing the congestion in the network based on the ejection rates of packets from the network to the nodes; identifying a job executing on the candidate node; and indicating that the identified job is a candidate job for causing the network congestion.
