This feature implements a generic framework that can be used by multiple interfaces and products for rate-
limiting/throttling outgoing messages like Diameter messages on Gx, Gy interface towards PCRF.
When applications send messages to peers at a high rate, (e.g. when a large number of sessions goes down at
the same time, accounting stop messages for all the sessions are generated at the same time) the peer may not
be able to handle the messages at such high rates. To overcome this situation, the Rate Limiting Function
(RLF) framework is developed so that the application sends messages at an optimal rate such that peer is
capable of receiving all the messages and does not enter an overload condition.
