RESOURCE UTILISATION CONTROL

摘要

A method and system configured to cap utilisation of a resource to a defined global target value in a decentralised manner. Groups, 101 - 104, of resource consumers 10 are formed and a local utilisation cap value is determined for each group based on the global target value. A local controller, 101C - 104C, in each group controls access to the resource for each member such that the local utilisation cap value is not exceeded, and hence enforcing that the resources consumed by all the resource consumers 10 in respective group do not exceed the defined global target value.
