TIME-SPACED MESSAGING FOR FACILITATING NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS

Example methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to facilitate time-spaced messaging for network communications are disclosed. An example method may include receiving a plurality of messages at a message rate. The method may further include determining a number of the plurality of messages a network device is unable to process. The method may further include determining, based on the number, a miss rate associated with the plurality of messages. The method may further include determining whether the miss rate exceeds a threshold miss rate and, if the miss rate is determined to exceed the threshold miss rate, determining a time delay based on the miss rate and message rate, and applying the first time delay to at least one message received subsequent to the plurality of messages.
