Including prior request performance information in requests to schedule subsequent request performance

Abstract:

A network-based service may schedule requests received from clients according to information regarding prior requests from the client included the requests. When a request is received at a network-based service, information regarding the request, and possibly other prior requests, may be included in response for the request sent to the client. The client may then include that information in a subsequent request to the network-based service. An evaluation of the information may determine a scheduling decision for the request and the request may then be processed according to the scheduling decision.
