<p>When an <r/> element ("request") is received, the recipient MUST acknowledge it by sending an ack element (either <a/> or <r/>) to the sender.

The response SHOULD be sent as soon as possible after receiving the <r/> element, and MUST NOT be withheld for any condition other than a timeout. For example, a client with a slow connection might want to collect many stanzas over a period of time before acking, and a server might want to throttle incoming stanzas.

<section1 topic='Throttling' anchor='throttling'>
|
||||
<p>When a server acts as a receiving entity for an XML stream, it might throttle the stream (i.e., impose rate limiting) if the initiating entity (a client or a server) attempts to send too much traffic over the stream (e.g., a very large number of stanzas, or a lesser number of stanzas that are relatively large). The formulas for determining when rate limiting shall be imposed are implementation-specific; however, nearly all XMPP server implementations include support for such throttling (often called "karma"). Therefore it would be helpful if the receiving entity could inform the initiating entity that the stream has been voluntarily throttled by the receiving entity. <note>Some forms of "throttling" can occur naturally at the TCP layer without being voluntarily imposed by the receiving entity; the receiving entity cannot inform the initiating entity about such throttling.</note> It can do so by sending a <t/> element to the receiving entity:</p>

||||
<example caption='Throttling notification'><![CDATA[

|
||||
S: <t xmlns='urn:xmpp:sm:2'/>
|
||||
]]></example>
|
||||
<p>The throttling notification MAY include a 'stanzas' attribute so that the receiving entity can inform the initiating entity of changes to the maximum number of stanzas between acks. This enables a server to dynamically adjust stanza acking in response to network conditions or stream usage.</p>
|
||||
<p>Note: Sending a throttling notification to the stream peer does not necessarily indicate that the entity is throwing away all stanzas, only that the entity has voluntarily slowed its processing of incoming stanzas.</p>

||||
<p>The throttling notification MAY include a 'stanzas' attribute so that the receiving entity can inform the initiating entity of changes to the maximum number of stanzas between acks. This enables the receiving entity to dynamically adjust stanza acking in response to network conditions or stream usage.</p>

|
||||
<p>If the number of unacknowledged stanzas is greater than or equal to the value of the 'stanzas' attribute, a peer MUST NOT send any further stanzas.</p>
|
||||
<p>If an entity sets the value of 'stanzas' to zero, it has stopped reading from the stream entirely.</p>
|
||||
<p>For as long as the initiating entity is throttled, the receiving entity SHOULD periodically send a throttling notification to the initiating entity (e.g., every 30 seconds) to obviate the need for pings generated by the initating entity (which the receiving entity will ignore because the initiating entity is throttled).</p>

<p>As mentioned, many servers will impose rate limiting on clients that send large amounts of traffic. In the following scenario, we assume that the first few messages sent by the client are rather large, so the server voluntarily throttles the client. The server then sends throttling notifications every 30 seconds, dynamically adjusting the maximum number of stanzas between acks as a rough indicator of how serious the throttling is.</p>
