Apparatus for controlling the blocking of a network-supported primary service by a network-supported secondary service sharing the same network router/switch.A controller included in the network's switch/router operates by identifying for each secondary service connection request the likelihood that if it is allocated a router/switch server, a subsequent primary service connection request will be blocked, i.e., denied a server allocation of its own. If the controller determines it is unlikely that allocating a secondary service connection request a server will cause a subsequent primary service connection request to be blocked, it allocates an idle server to a currently pending secondary service connection request at the router/switch. If, however, the controller determines that it is likely that allocating a secondary service connection request a server will cause a subsequent primary service connection request to be blocked, it blocks any pending secondary service connection requests at the router/switch from being allocated a server at that time.
