Abstract

See full text

Embodiments presented herein provide a protocol for throttling requests of multiple client applications sending data to a server. When a server receives a request from a client, the server increments a counter. Based on the counter value with respect to a high-water mark value and a low-water mark value, the server may enter a throttling period, upon which the server sends acknowledgments that include a throttle identifier to requesting clients. When a client receives an acknowledgment with a throttle identifier, the client waits for a delay period before sending a subsequent request. The server continues to send acknowledgments with a throttle identifier while in the throttling period. The client increases the delay period each time it receives an acknowledgment with the same throttle identifier as the previous one.
