Abstract
A networked computing system that utilizes a hybrid rate-limiting scheme to jointly affect both PDU payload throughput and total PDU throughput. The networked computing system includes one or more service provider devices (SPDs), one or more subscriber computing devices (SCDs), and a data communications network facilitating data communications between a SPD and a SCD. The SPD can apply the hybrid rate-limiting scheme to data communications provided to the SCD, based on both protocol data unit (PDU) header and payload characteristics. The hybrid rate-limiting scheme can simultaneously facilitate rate-limiting PDU payload throughput and rate-limiting total PDU throughput.
