Abstract
A system and method for dynamically controlling a rogue application through incremental bandwidth restrictions is disclosed. A network connection supporting a flow of network traffic in a distributed computing environment is monitored. The network traffic flow includes a stream of data packets generated by a rogue application. Bandwidth allocated to the monitored network connection is incrementally adjusted until the flow of the network traffic for the rogue application achieves a steady state of bandwidth restriction. The flow of subsequent network traffic over the monitored network connection is controlled at the steady state of bandwidth restriction.
