Zusammenfassung:A system forwards congestion management messages to a source host updating the source address in the management message. The system may determine that the congestion management message was triggered responsive to an initial communication that was previously forwarded by the system. The system may use header translation within a single addressing scheme and/or may translate the congestion management message into a different type to support forwarding to the source of the initial communication. The system may use portions of the payload of the congestion management message to determine the source of the initial communication and to derive a different header for the translated congestion management message.
