Abstract
In certain embodiments, facilitation of a dynamic rate limit may be provided. In some embodiments, an amount of aggregated bandwidth consumption for a set of computing devices on a network may be determined for a first time period. A total amount of available bandwidth on the network may be determined for the first time period. A ratio of the amount of aggregated bandwidth consumption to the total amount of available bandwidth may be determined. A bandwidth threshold may be determined based on the ratio. A rate limit for a first computing device (of the set of computing devices) may be dynamically set based on a comparison of the bandwidth threshold to bandwidth consumption of the first computing device.
