novel solutions are described herein for providing a consistent quality of service , latency - wise , for remote processing by managing the process queues in a processing server and temporarily pausing frame production and delivery to limit the lag experienced by a user in a client device . the claimed embodiments limit the latency experienced by a user by preventing the production rate of rendered frames at the server from significantly outperforming the decoding and display of the received frames in the client device and avoiding the resultant lag .
