Abstract
The present disclosure presents systems and methods for controlling network traffic traversing an intermediary device based on a license or a permit granted for the intermediary device. The systems and methods control a rate of a traffic of a device in accordance with a rate limit identified by a rate limiting license. A rate limiting manager of an intermediary device that processes network traffic between a plurality of clients and a plurality of servers, may identify presence of a rate limiting license that further identifies a performance level. The rate limiting manager may establish a rate limit based on the performance level of the rate limiting license. A throttler of the intermediary may control a rate of receiving network packets in accordance with the rate limit.
