ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling sender events arriving at a recipient system is provided. An event transmitted from a sender is received at recipient system, and an event signature is determined. An elapse time between received event and a previous event is calculated. If elapse time is less than or equal to a critical time, it is determined if a counter is equal to or greater than a maximum value. If yes, event is rejected. If not, counter is incremented and the event is processed. If elapse time is greater than critical time, it is determined if elapse time is less than or equal to a grace period and if counter is greater than zero. If yes, counter is decremented and the event is processed. If not, counter is set to zero and event is processed. The critical time, maximum value, and increment/decrement factor are set based on the event signature.
