This disclosure provides methods and systems for reducing congestion in RoCEv2 networks. The method is configured to operate large-scale in data centers on traffic flowing from a sender node to a receiver node. The method described has three stages: a fast start stage, a transition stage, and a regulation stage. In the fast start stage, the sender sends data to the receiver at a fast initial rate. This may continue until the receiver observes a congestion event. When this happens, the sender reduces the data transfer rate as the method enters the transition stage. From a reduced rate, the method enters the regulation stage, where the rate is increased using a combination of a feedback control loop and an additive increase multiplicative decrease (AIMD) algorithm.
