  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THROTTLING INCOMING NETWORK TRAFFIC REQUESTS
    Publication number: 20180270305
    Abstract: Systems and methods of throttling incoming network traffic requests are provided. A data processing system can receive a request from a computing device via a computer network. The data processing system can determine a predicted number of incoming requests and a current available capacity of the data processing system. The data processing system, responsive to determining that the current available capacity of the data processing system is insufficient to process the predicted number of incoming requests, can assign a prioritization value to the request and determine a throttling threshold value based on the current available capacity of the data processing system, the predicted number of incoming requests, and a distribution of historical prioritization values. The data processing system can throttle the request responsive to determining that the prioritization value is below the determined throttling threshold value.
