  • Patent number: 11477128
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for implementing bandwidth throttling to regulate network traffic as can be used in, for example, vulnerability scanning and detection applications in a computer network environment. According to one embodiment, a method of routing network packets in a networked device having plural network interfaces combines applying traffic class and network interface throttling for marking network packets with a differentiated service code based on input received from a profiler application, throttling the bandwidth of network packets based on a threshold for a designated network interface for the packet, throttling the bandwidth of the bandwidth-throttled packets based on a threshold for its respective differentiated service code, and emitting network packets on each respective designated network interface.
    Type: Grant
