DISTRIBUTED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR NETWORK LINK BANDWIDTH CONTROL

In various embodiments, methods and systems for implementing distributed traffic management are provided. A data request from a content server is accessed using a content serving agent. The data request is determined to be associated with a corresponding network link based on referencing an exterior protocol topology file. The exterior gateway protocol topology file includes a mapping of Internet Protocol (IP) prefixes to corresponding router-network-link identifiers indicating a router interface. A router-network-link identifier and one or more local control actions for the data request are identified using the control output file that includes a mapping between the router-network-link identifier and the one or more local control actions. Utilization data for the router-network-link identifier is accessed using the utilization data file. The utilization data is determined to be associated with executing one or more local control actions. The one or more local control actions associated with transmitting the data request are executed.
