Abstract
A computing resource service provider may provide customers with access to various services provided by a set of service endpoints. During certain intervals of time increased network traffic may cause an increase in the consumption of computing resources of the set of service endpoints. A throttling trigger may be detected that may cause one or more routing devices to reroute network traffic to one or more lower tier routing devices. The lower tier routing devices may maintain throttling information and forward network traffic to the set of service endpoints.
