1. A system for managing congestion in a computer communication network, comprising:
a plurality of Network Interface Controllers (NICs), to connect multiple hosts to the computer communication network, the NICs supporting a configurable Congestion Control (CC) scheme selected from among multiple CC schemes; and
one or more processors coupled to the computer communication network, to:
receive performance indicators generated by the NICs or by the hosts and indicative of congestion states occurring in the computer communication network due to communication of the hosts with one another over the computer communication network, the performance indicators being associated with respective times of occurrence;
graphically display time-series data indicative of one or more performance measures of the computer communication network over time, the one or more performance measures being based at least in part on the received performance indicators indicative of congestion states;
receive input indicative of one or more CC schemes to apply to one or more NICs, wherein based on the input different ones of the one or more CC schemes could be applied to different ones of the one or more NICs;
provision the one or more NICS with the one or more CC schemes based on the received input; and
receive updated performance indicators generated by the NICs or by the hosts indicative of congestion states occurring in the computer communication network after the provisioning.
