Systems and methods for platform rate limiting
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a rate of a traffic of a device in accordance with a rate limit identified by a rate limiting license, the method comprising:
- a) identifying, by a rate limiting manager of an intermediary device, a type of hardware platform and a presence of a file for validating a rate limiting license, the intermediary device processing network traffic between a plurality of clients and a plurality of servers, the rate limiting license comprising content identifying a particular performance level from a plurality of performance levels supported by the intermediary device, the particular performance level identifying a predetermined set of performance level settings comprising a rate limit;
b) establishing, by the rate limiting manager based on the type of hardware platform and the performance level, the rate limit obtained from the predetermined performance level settings identified by the particular performance level identified by the rate limiting license; and
c) controlling, by a throttler of the intermediary device, a rate of receiving network packets in accordance with the rate limit.

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.
