Defined as the intentional slowing or speeding of an internet service by an ISP. It is a reactive measure employed in communication networks to regulate network traffic and minimize bandwidth congestion. Bandwidth throttling can occur at different locations on the network.
Dynamic frequency scaling (also known as CPU throttling) is a power management technique in computer architecture whereby the frequency of a microprocessor can be automatically adjusted "on the fly" depending on the actual needs, to conserve power and reduce the amount of heat generated by the chip.
CPU throttling, computer hardware speed control, also known as dynamic frequency scaling; Bandwidth throttling, used to control the bandwidth that a network application can use; Throttling process (computing), software speed control
Traffic shaping is a bandwidth management technique used on computer networks which delays some or all datagrams to bring them into compliance with a desired traffic profile. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Traffic shaping is used to optimize or guarantee performance, improve latency , or increase usable bandwidth for some kinds of packets by delaying other kinds.
The consumed bandwidth in bit/s, corresponds to achieved throughput or goodput, i.e., the average rate of successful data transfer through a communication path.The consumed bandwidth can be affected by technologies such as bandwidth shaping, bandwidth management, bandwidth throttling, bandwidth cap, bandwidth allocation (for example bandwidth allocation protocol and dynamic bandwidth ...
In computer networks, rate limiting is used to control the rate of requests sent or received by a network interface controller. It can be used to prevent DoS attacks [1] and limit web scraping. [2] Research indicates flooding rates for one zombie machine are in excess of 20 HTTP GET requests per second, [3] legitimate rates much less.
In computer networking, network traffic control is the process of managing, controlling or reducing the network traffic, particularly Internet bandwidth, e.g. by the network scheduler. [1] It is used by network administrators, to reduce congestion, latency and packet loss. This is part of bandwidth management.
In TCP, the congestion window (CWND) is one of the factors that determines the number of bytes that can be sent out at any time. The congestion window is maintained by the sender and is a means of preventing a link between the sender and the receiver from becoming overloaded with too much traffic.
