A system for controlling congestion is disclosed, the system comprising a host computer ( 108 C) adapted to run concurrent processes ( 402, 412 ) and a gateway ( 100 C) through which communications traffic from the concurrent processes ( 402, 412 ) to corresponding concurrent processes is directed. The gateway comprises means ( 906 ) for determining available bandwidth on connections ( 106 ) between the gateway and the corresponding concurrent processes, means ( 910 ) for determining host rate control information dependent upon said available bandwidth, and means ( 906 ) for communicating the host rate control information to the host computer ( 108 C). The host computer ( 108 C) comprises means ( 406, 416 ) for independently controlling traffic from each said concurrent process ( 402, 412 ) to the corresponding concurrent process according to the host rate control information.
