SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERSISTENCE-VECTOR-BASED MODIFICATION OF USAGE RATES

摘要

When a resource of limited capacity is shared by several users, it is possible for the usage rates of the users to exceed the resource's capacity, thereby causing an overload condition. In a system or method according to an embodiment of the invention, at least some of the users have a set of persistence vectors. When an overload condition is detected, the usage rate of at least one of these users is changed, at least in part according to the user's set of persistence vectors.
