US Patent 9473413 Dynamic throttle of network traffic

Techniques for dynamically throttling network traffic may be provided. For example, a first threshold specific to a first client may be determined and may be dynamically adjusted over time. A volume of network traffic of the first client may be compared to the first threshold and, if is in excess, a throttling operation may be performed. The throttling operation may include throttling the network traffic of the first client, throttling the traffic of a second client, or comparing the volume of network traffic to a second threshold. If the second threshold is exceeded, a connection with the first client or the second client may be terminated.
