Abstract: Techniques are provided for a peer-to-peer web traffic management. A first mapping between identifiers and peers in a network is established. Upon receiving a first request associated with a first identifier and classifiers, based, at least in part, on the first identifier, a first peer retrieves a first global counter snapshot and a first local increment counter, and uses them to determine whether the first peer can service the first request. If the determination is positive, then the first peer services the first request, and updates the first local increment counter. If the first local increment counter exceeded a threshold value, then the first local increment counter is transmitted to a second peer, and then reset to zero. In response to the first peer receiving a first global counter associated with the first global counter snapshot, the first global counter snapshot is updated with the first global counter.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of providing distributed layer seven traffic shaping includes receiving one or more service requests from one or more clients. The one or more service requests include network usage information associated with the one or more clients. The computer-implemented method also includes aggregating the network usage information from the one or more clients across one or more data centers. Further, the computer-implemented method includes computing a delay required for throttling the service request based on data transferred. Furthermore, the computer-implemented method includes communicating the delay to the one or more clients. Moreover, the computer-implemented method includes throttling the one or more service requests based on the delay across the one or more data centers.
