<p>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 (1601) in the network's switch/router identifies for each secondary service connection request the likelihood that if it is allocated a router/switch server (1607), a subsequent primary service connection request will be blocked. If the controller determines it is unlikely that allocating a secondary service connection request will cause a subsequent primary service connection request to be blocked, it allocates an idle server to a secondary service connection request. If the controller determines that it is likely that allocating a secondary service request will cause a subsequent primary service connection request to be blocked, it blocks any pending secondary service connection request from being allocated a server at that time.</p> |
