  An overloaded computer must finish what it starts and not start what will
fail or hang. A congestion management algorithm the author developed, and
Siemens Corporation patented for telecom products, effectively manages traffic
overload with its unique formulation of Exponential Smoothing forecasting.
Siemens filed for exclusive rights to this technique in 2003 and obtained US
patent US7301903B2 in 2007 with this author, an employee at the time of the
filing, the sole inventor. A computer program, written in C language, which
exercises the methodology is listed at the end of this document and available
on GitHub.
