Latency increase estimated rate limiter adjustment

A system, comprising:

• a first networked device;
• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable operatively coupled to the processor, and having instructions stored therein that when executed by the processor causes the system to:
• periodically measure outbound latency of communications over a network from the first networked device to a second networked device, wherein one or more outbound latency measurements are made;
• store the one or more outbound latency measurements and a time corresponding to each of the one or more outbound latency measurements;
• determine a proportion by which to decrease a target transmission rate of the first networked device based on at least a rate of outbound latency increase determined using a most recent outbound latency measurement and the stored one or more outbound latency measurements and corresponding times;
• and
• decrease the target transmission rate of the first networked device by the determined proportion.

A method, comprising:

• periodically measuring inbound latency of communications over a network to a first networked device from a second networked device, wherein one or more inbound latency measurements are made;
• storing the one or more inbound latency measurements and a time corresponding to each of the one or more inbound latency measurements;
• determining a proportion by which to decrease a target receive rate of the first networked device based on at least a rate of inbound latency increase determined using a most recent inbound latency measurement and the stored one or more inbound latency measurements and corresponding times;
• and
• decreasing the target receive rate of the first networked device by the determined proportion.
