Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to measuring and managing data traffic in one or more networks. In some embodiments, a monitor may measure the traffic at one or more locations within the network(s) or devices associated therewith to determine whether the traffic exceeds a threshold. When the traffic exceeds the threshold, one or more actions may be taken, such as issuing or transmitting a command or directive. The command or directive may advise a device or an application to throttle or reduce an input or stimulus responsible for generating the traffic. In some embodiments, a throttling may be effectuated to reduce the data traffic.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of messages, each of the plurality of messages indicating actions an action performed by one or more first computing devices responsive to a first advertisement sent by one or more second computing devices;
- and
- sending, to the one or more second computing devices and based on determining that a rate at which the messages were received satisfies a threshold, a command that causes the one or more second computing devices to change a rate at which the one or more second computing devices sends a plurality of second advertisements.
A method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of messages, each of the plurality of messages indicating an action performed by one or more first computing devices responsive to a first advertisement sent by one or more second computing devices;
- and
- sending, to the one or more second computing devices and based on determining that a rate at which the messages were received satisfies a threshold, a command that causes the one or more second computing devices to disable selection of the first advertisement.
A method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of messages, each of the plurality of messages indicating an action performed by one or more first computing devices responsive to a first advertisement sent by one or more second computing devices;
- and
- sending, to the one or more second computing devices and based on determining that a rate at which the messages were received satisfies a threshold, a command that causes the one or more second computing devices to remove interactive features from a second advertisement prior to sending the second advertisement.
