Zusammenfassung:The subject matter described herein includes methods and systems for dynamically rate limiting slowpath processing of exception packets. According to one embodiment, a method includes monitoring processing resources in a packet forwarding device used for performing slowpath processing of exception packets at the packet forwarding device. It is determined whether usage of the processing resources used for slowpath processing exceeds a first threshold and, in response to determining that the processing resources exceed the first threshold, rate limiting the slowpath processing of the exception packets.
