Abstract
One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for monitoring levels of activity of client devices using a cluster of servers having a decentralized network architecture are provided, where over-counting, which may be caused by an uneven distribution of requests transmitted by the client devices to the cluster of servers, may be mitigated. For example, a request may be received by a first server, of the cluster of servers, from a client device. A first counter value associated with a level of activity of the client device may be incremented by a first number. One or more data packets may be transmitted to one or more servers of the cluster of servers. Each data packet of the one or more data packets may comprise an instruction to increment a counter value associated with the client device by a second number, which may be different than the first number.
