DISTRIBUTED RATE LIMITING

Abstract: techniques for performing distributed rate limiting in networks in a cloud environment are described for determining an amount of network bandwidth available to be processed by flow control nodes within a cloud network for a first time period, determining a bandwidth allocation for traffic classes for the first time period, determining, a portion of the bandwidth allocation for the flow control nodes, providing, data to the flow control nodes, where the data indicates the portion of the bandwidth allocation for the traffic classes, and receiving, second data that indicates an amount of network traffic routed during the first time period by individual ones of the flow control nodes.
