1. A method for generating a congestion indicator, comprising:
determining an outerloop threshold as a function of a desired threshold, measuring a congestion metric;
comparing the congestion metric to the desired threshold; and
updating the outerloop threshold in response to comparing the measured congestion metric to the desired threshold, the updating the outerloop threshold comprises:
subtracting a first value Δ from the outerloop threshold in response to a first result of comparing the congestion metric to the desired threshold, and subtracting a second value δ from the outerloop threshold in response to a second
result of comparing the congestion metric to the desired threshold.
