Abstract
A system, method and computer program product are provided for controlling the rate of a network flow. In use, a rate of a network flow is monitored. In addition, it is determined whether the rate exceeds a threshold. Further, at least a portion of the network flow is conditionally discarded or marked, based on the determination.
