  2. Traffic shaping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_shaping

    Traffic shaping can be used to prevent this from occurring and keep latency in check. Traffic shaping provides a means to control the volume of traffic being sent into a network in a specified period (bandwidth throttling), or the maximum rate at which the traffic is sent (rate limiting), or more complex criteria such as generic cell rate ...

  3. Bandwidth throttling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_throttling

    without bandwidth throttling, a server could efficiently serve only 100 active TCP connections (100 MB/s / 1 MB/s) before saturating network bandwidth; a saturated network (i.e. with a bottleneck through an Internet Access Point) could slow down a lot the attempts to establish other new connections or even to force them to fail because of ...

  4. Rate limiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_limiting

    Rate limiting can be induced by the network protocol stack of the sender due to a received ECN-marked packet and also by the network scheduler of any router along the way. While a hardware appliance can limit the rate for a given range of IP-addresses on layer 4, it risks blocking a network with many users which are masked by NAT with a single ...

  5. List of HTTP status codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes

    This class of status code indicates the client must take additional action to complete the request. Many of these status codes are used in URL redirection. [2]A user agent may carry out the additional action with no user interaction only if the method used in the second request is GET or HEAD.

  6. Leaky bucket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaky_bucket

    When a packet (network layer PDU) [note 1] of n bytes arrives, n tokens are removed from the bucket, and the packet is sent to the network. If fewer than n tokens are available, no tokens are removed from the bucket, and the packet is considered to be non-conformant. This can be compared with the leaky bucket, repeated from above:

  7. Dynamic frequency scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_frequency_scaling

    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.

  8. Great Firewall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Firewall

    Because of the complexity involved in maintaining a large, up-to-date banned network list with dynamic IPs (and as this method has proven incompatible with services using content delivery networks) it is usually used as a last resort, with other blocking methods preferred (such as filtering based on QoS).

  9. System Idle Process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Idle_Process

    In Windows NT operating systems, the System Idle Process contains one or more kernel threads which run when no other runnable thread can be scheduled on a CPU. In a multiprocessor system, there is one idle thread associated with each CPU core.
