Shared network path contention can be reduced by limiting the number of contending client devices to which pending requests may be outstanding. Contention may also be reduced by managing available downstream bandwidth based on request size and managing available upstream bandwidth based on estimated response size. Portions of available downstream and/or upstream bandwidth may also be allocated to groups of one or more applications from which requests may be received, and the allocated portions may be configured to vary over time.
