Abstract
According to the present invention, method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for restraining a connection request stream from a burst client are disclosed. In one embodiment, in a client/server computer environment, a method for restraining a connection request stream associated with a high volume connection request burst client is disclosed. a connection request is received at a beginning of a throttling interval m+1, where the throttling interval m+1 is subsequent to a throttling interval m. A throttling interval m+1 wait time is calculated based upon a slow down threshold associated with the requesting client, an interval m connection request count for the requesting client, wherein the interval m connection request count is the total number of connection requests received during the interval m for the requesting client, and an interval m wait time. A throttling interval m+1 connection request count is set to zero and the server computer waits for the throttling interval m+1 wait time before accepting the request.
