Abstract:
The present invention is generally directed to methods, systems, and computer program products for selectively altering the processing of a request based on a potential value of the request. When an undesirably high number of requests are being received by a server system, the server system can identify requests that have a potential value greater than a potential value of one or more other requests. The server system can then alter the processing of the requests having the lower potential value thereby ensuring that requests with higher potential value are processed adequately.
