ScriptableThrottlingPolicy

Uses a script to look up the throttling rates to apply to groups of requests.

The script can store the mapping for the throttling rate in memory, and can use a more complex mapping mechanism than that used in the MappedThrottlingPolicy. For example, the script can map the throttling rate for a range of IP addresses. The script can also query an external database or read the mapping from a file.

For information about script properties, available global objects, and automatically imported classes, refer to Scripts.
