Congestion control using application slowdown

摘要

A computer-implemented method is provided, including monitoring one or more parameters of a computer system that executes one or more service requester processes that issue service requests to one or more service provider processes. A congestion in the system is detected by analyzing the parameters. Upon identifying at least one of the service requester processes as contributing to the congestion, execution of the at least one of the service requester processes is slowed. Other embodiments are also described.
