Abstract
Coordination of rate limiting calculations and updates, for multiple interrelated services, at a single computer at a single logical location on a computer network, instead of coordinating rate limit calculations by direct data communications among and between the various machines hosting the interrelated services that are subject to rate limiting. In some of these embodiments, advantages to doing this may include: (i) reducing the number and/or bandwidth consumption of data communications needed to perform rate limiting calculations and determinations; and/or (ii) setting appropriate rate limits for only the 'highest level' services (that is, the services that are initially called by users, as opposed to the services that the highest level service call (directly or indirectly)).
