Abstract
Utilizing a computing device to determine and enforce limits on cloud computing containers receiving data over a network. A determination is made of total container time remaining available for a first container to execute in a computing environment. Processor packet receipt time is determined for receiving and processing of a packet or a batch of packets via a network stack associated with the computing device. An updated total container time remaining is calculated for the first container accounting for the processor packet receipt time. The updated total container time remaining is enforced by dropping a subsequent packet or batch of packets received at the network stack if the updated total container time remaining is insufficient.
