1. A method of processing a protocol data unit (PDU) set for a data network, comprising the steps of:
receiving a first PDU packet of the PDU set, wherein the first PDU packet includes a first congestion flag;
receiving, subsequent to reception of the first PDU packet, a second PDU packet of the PDU set, wherein the second PDU packet includes a second congestion flag different from the first congestion flag;
determining, after receiving the first and second PDU packets, a congestion status of the data network for the PDU set;
controlling, based on the determined congestion status, a handling state of the second PDU packet to match a handling state of the first PDU packet; and
transmitting the first PDU packet and the controlled second PDU packet to a destination receiver of the data network.
