Description: Throttling refers to the intentional slowing down of a process to prevent overloads. In the context of technology, this can involve regulating the performance of systems, applications, or networks to avoid saturation or collapse under high demand conditions. This practice is essential in environments where stability and availability are critical, such as servers, cloud applications, and network systems. Throttling can be implemented through various techniques, such as resource management, task prioritization, and traffic control policies. By limiting resource usage, the goal is to ensure that all processes have equitable access to resources, preventing a single process from consuming all available resources and affecting overall system performance. Additionally, throttling can help prevent security issues, such as denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, by controlling traffic flow and ensuring that the system can handle requests efficiently.
