Method and System for Providing Congestion Management within a Virtual Talk Group

A method for providing congestion management within a virtual talk group includes facilitating communication within a virtual talk group between a plurality of endpoints of different communication networks. The method also includes monitoring a communication congestion level within the virtual talk group and tracking at least one priority characteristic for at least one endpoint of the plurality of endpoints within the virtual talk group. The method further includes detecting that the communication congestion level exceeds a congestion threshold and reducing the congestion level by executing at least one policy based on the at least one priority characteristic of the at least one endpoint.
