Abstract:
1. A method for handling requests in a network, the method comprising: extracting a load pattern at a first service component, wherein the first service component receives one or more requests from a plurality of upstream service components; calculating a capacity of the first service component and one or more pending requests at the first service component based on the load pattern, wherein the capacity corresponds to a maximum number of requests served by the first service component in a predefined time period; computing a first delay associated with the first service component based on the capacity and the one or more pending requests; computing a second delay based on a time period required to increase the capacity by applying one or more alternative adaptation techniques; determining an insertion delay based on the first delay and the second delay; and distributing the insertion delay among the plurality of upstream service components such that requests from the plurality of upstream service components are not simultaneously received at the first service component.
