Systems and methods for dynamically setting a rate limit for a computing device

A non-transitory, computer-readable media for facilitating a dynamic rate limit, the computer-readable media storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed, by a data processing apparatus cause the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:

• determining an amount of aggregated bandwidth consumption for a set of computing devices on a network;
• determining a total amount of available bandwidth on the network;
• determining a ratio of the amount of aggregated bandwidth consumption to the total amount of available bandwidth;
• determining, based on the ratio, a bandwidth threshold;
• determining first bandwidth consumption of a first computing device of the set of computing devices that is measured for a first time period;
• determining second bandwidth consumption of the first computing device that is measured for a second time period of different length than the first time period;
• and
• dynamically setting a rate limit for the first computing device based on a comparison of the bandwidth threshold to at least one of the first bandwidth consumption or the second bandwidth consumption.

A system for facilitating a dynamic rate limit, the system comprising:

• a computer system comprising one or more processors programmed with computer program instructions that, when executed, cause the computer system to:
• determine, for a first time period, an amount of aggregated bandwidth consumption for a set of computing devices on a network;
• determine, for the first time period, a total amount of available bandwidth on the network;
• determine a ratio of the amount of aggregated bandwidth consumption to the total amount of available bandwidth;
• determine, based on the ratio, a bandwidth threshold;
• classify a first computing device of the set of computing devices based on a comparison of the bandwidth threshold to bandwidth consumption of the first computing device;
• and
• dynamically set a rate limit for the first computing device based on the classification of the first computing device.
