Primes¶
- Input Pressure
- On the driver side, the rate can be measured as a first-class metric (separate from cumulative quantity), forecast as a distribution rather than a current value, capped at the source (effluent standards, rate limiting, admission control, arrival smoothing), buffered over time to convert a peak-rate problem into an average-rate problem (reservoirs, queues, stockpiles), or shed gracefully when capacity is exceeded (overflow weirs, drop policies, triage).
This sourceDescribes the driver-side overload toolkit — admission control, client-side throttling, load shedding, and graceful degradation — for capping and shedding a sustained request rate.

Supports the software capping and shedding items (client-side throttling, quotas, sheddable traffic) but not the rate-metric, forecast, buffering or non-software examples.
“it starts self-regulating and caps the amount of outgoing traffic it generates”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
