A system and method of managing a collective data transfer rate of a plurality of edge devices may include designating, by the plurality of edge devices, one of the plurality of the edge devices a master device. A data transfer rate of each of the plurality of edge devices may be controlled based on at least one flag of the edge device, the at least one flag set the designated master device. The designated master device may dynamically set the at least one flag of each of the plurality of edge devices such that controlling the data transfer rate by the plurality of edge devices is synchronized.
