Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for scalable network buffer management may include (1) receiving, via a connection to a client, data to be transmitted to a cloud service, (2) buffering the data in at least one data buffer, (3) determining that the data will not be transmitted to the cloud service within a timeout period for the client connection, (4) delaying reception of additional data from the client connection for a portion of the timeout period, and (5) before the timeout period has elapsed, buffering data from the client connection in at least one secondary data buffer, wherein the secondary data buffer is smaller in size than the data buffer. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
