Abstract
A device may determine an acceptance rate threshold associated with a network server. The acceptance rate threshold may be a handling capacity of the network server for processing connection requests. The device may determine that a rate at which a set of connection requests are being received exceeds the acceptance rate threshold. The device may cause a portion of the set of connection requests to be transmitted to the network server via a network tunnel based on determining that the rate at which the set of connection requests are being received exceeds the acceptance rate threshold. The portion of the set of connection requests may be caused to be transmitted at a rate not exceeding the acceptance rate threshold.
