A method of managing traffic over a communication link between a transmitting node and a receiving node is provided herein. The method includes: determining momentary traffic shaping constraints; accumulating incoming messages at the transmitting node into a data queue, based on the momentary traffic shaping constraints; transmitting the messages from the data queue to the receiving node over the communication link based on the momentary traffic shaping constraints; estimating a desired amount of data that needs to be discarded from messages in the data queue, based on: (a) the size of the data queue and (b) the momentary traffic shaping constraints; sorting data in the data queue by an order of importance, based on analytic objects; discarding, based on the analytic objects, the desired amount of data from the messages in the queued data, such that the discarded data is ranked lowest by the order of importance.
