Dynamic session rate limiter

Abstract:

Provided are methods and systems for dynamically limiting new sessions. A method for dynamically limiting new sessions may commence with initiating a dynamic session rate limiter based on predetermined criteria. The method may further include dynamically ascertaining, by the dynamic session rate limiter, a remaining session table capacity. The method may continue with dynamically limiting, by the dynamic session rate limiter, a number of new sessions according to a function selected to negatively correlate the new sessions and the remaining session table capacity.
