Abstract

A method for determining a time delay for sending an update request by a computing device is described. A first update request is sent by a computing device at the termination of a first random delay. A first load data is received. A second update request is sent by the computing device at the termination of a maximum update parameter. A second load data is received. The first load data is compared with the second load data. A next update time is adjusted if the first load data differs from the second load data.
