# Throttling policies

To protect applications from being overused by clients, use a [ThrottlingFilter](ThrottlingFilter.html) with one of the following policies to limit how many requests clients can make in a defined time.

* [DefaultRateThrottlingPolicy](DefaultRateThrottlingPolicy.html)

* [MappedThrottlingPolicy](MappedThrottlingPolicy.html)

* [ScriptableThrottlingPolicy](ScriptableThrottlingPolicy.html)
