Abstract

Computer systems and methods for managing network data consumption between a client computer and one or more server computers. A computer system comprising: a memory persistently storing a set of instructions; one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more processors execute the set of instructions, which causes the one or more processors to: intercept, at a client computer, a first request to a first server computer from a first application being executed on the client computer before the client computer sends the first request to the first server computer; determine whether the first request should be monitored based on data associated with the first application; in response to determining that the first request should be monitored, redirect the first request to a second server computer that is different than the first server computer, and include one or more parameters that identify the first application and the first server computer.
