Working with Network Element Instance Throughput Control

Network element instance throughput control prevents network elements from becoming overloaded by controlling the volume of transactions that sent from ASAP. You can use a central throughput control mechanism to configure a specific throughput per unit of time for network element instances, which limits the number of transactions sent to the network element during that unit of time.

For example, consider that you have a network element (one that responds to ASAP asynchronously) that can handle a maximum of 20 transactions per second. And, if the number of transactions sent to this network element exceed 20 per second, some response messages are not generated and are not received by ASAP. You can configure throughput controls for this network element instance to prevent overloading and to ensure that the network element generates all required response messages.

See "Configuring Network Element Instance Throughput Control" for more information.
