Abstract
The present disclosure provides techniques for context-sensitive token-bucket rate limiting. A processing device obtains, in a kernel space of an operating system (OS), a message comprising a unique process identifier (UPID) and a message type. The processing device determines whether to send the message from the kernel space to a user space of the OS based on at least one of: the UPID, the message type, or a token count and a discrete time unit in an entry in a data structure in the kernel space. The processing device processes the message based on the determination of whether to send the message from the kernel space to the user space.
