Abstract
Apparatus and methods for adaptive network throttling are provided. Adaptive network throttling may allow a device to communicate information using a shared network link without negatively impacting other devices utilizing the shared link. Adaptive network throttling may regulate communication of each device independently of network link or device hardware specifications. Adaptive network throttling may ensure that each device utilizing the shared network link inserts a time delay following a communication of information. The time delay may represent bandwidth on the shared network link that is not being used by a device. The unused bandwidth may be available to other devices communicating over the shared network link.
