The intentional limiting of data transfer rates to prevent a single client or process from consuming all available network bandwidth. FTP servers, web servers, and download managers implement throttling to ensure fair resource sharing and to protect upstream links from saturation. Throttling can be applied per-user, per-connection, or globally, and is closely related to rate limiting in API design and QoS in networking.
