Abstract

Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for managing network throughput. An application identifies at least one network connection of a plurality of network connections, wherein packets arriving via the one network connection require greater resources at a computational device relative to resources required by other network connections. The application determines if resources required at the computational device by the plurality of network connections exceed a threshold and eliminates the at least one network connection to the computational device.
