Abstract
Approaches for managing characteristics for inbound data communications between a first network site and a remote network site of a WAN are provided. The inbound communications are received by the first network site via a series of links of the WAN. Protocol overhead factors are determined based on overhead associated with network protocols applied to the data communications over the links. Link throughput limits are determined for the inbound data communications, wherein the throughput limits are determined based on the protocol overhead factors. The throughput limits are transmitted to the second network site for transmission of the inbound data communications from the second network site. The inbound data communications are received by a first device of the first network site via the first link, wherein the first link is between the first device and a second device serving as an exit point from a public portion of the WAN.
