Adaptive Resource Management

A computer readable non-transitory storage medium, storing instructions for:

• determining a plurality of cumulative usage values of the network resource, wherein each cumulative usage value is associated with a time interval and is based on observed usages of the network resource by a plurality of consumers over the time interval;
• determining a total throughput of the network resource based on an aggregate of the plurality of cumulative usage values of the network resource;
• increasing the total throughput of the network resource by a predetermined factor;
• and
• determining allocations of the network resource for each consumer in the plurality of consumers based on the increased total throughput of the network resource, wherein an allocation of the network resource for a consumer determines availability of network resource to the consumer for a subsequent time interval.
