Method and apparatus for distant congestion control of meshed streams in a packet-switched telecommunications network

Remote Procedure congestion control flows exchanged meshes in a telecommunication network packet mode between a number N of central sites Ci (12) provided with active devices for managing flow and a number M of remote sites Dm (14) devoid of such equipment, exchanging such central sites (12) including information intended specifically for managing the flow exchanged between each of the central sites (12) and each of the remote sites (14), method characterized in that comprises the following steps: - dynamically associating each remote site (14) to a subset of central sites (12) depending on the traffic actually checked, - establish a dynamic traffic matrix indicating, for each remote site (14), the group of sites central (12) exchanging data with this remote site (14) during an observation period given, - exchanging between the different central sites (12) of each group minimum information on real-time traffic with each of said remote sites ( 14), - defined from the information exchanged in the previous step a local image indicating the state of pre-congestion for the traffic of each remote site (14), - calculating the rules for managing traffic from (respectively to) each remote site (14) depending on the image defined in the previous stage.
