Memory overload protection

A method for memory overload protection, using at least one computer hardware device, the method comprising:

• determining how much dynamically allocated non-native memory is utilized by a server;
• determining a maximum session lifetime that encompasses a session lifetime of a configured percentile of at least one session, wherein a session lifetime comprises a length of time between allocation and de-allocation of said memory and said configured percentile comprises a percentage of all uses of said memory that are equal to or less than said maximum session lifetime;
• determining a traffic rate over the maximum session lifetime, wherein the traffic rate is comprised of an average traffic rate received from a proxy server and a variance of traffic rate received from the proxy server;
• and
• determining a relationship between the traffic rate and how much dynamically allocated non-native memory is utilized, wherein the determining generates a maximum traffic rate, wherein the maximum traffic rate results in a maximum throughput rate while minimizing any memory allocation failures due to excessive memory usage.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program product for memory overload protection, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:

• computer readable program code configured to determine utilization of dynamically allocated non-native memory of a server;
• computer readable program code configured to determine a maximum session lifetime that encompasses a session lifetime of a configured percentile of at least one session, wherein a session lifetime comprises a length of time between allocation and de-allocation of said memory and said configured percentile comprises a percentage of all uses of said memory that are equal to or less than said maximum session lifetime;
• computer readable program code configured to determine a traffic rate over the maximum session lifetime, wherein the traffic rate is comprised of an average traffic rate received from the proxy server and a variance of traffic rate received from the proxy server;
• and computer readable program code configured to determine a maximum traffic rate, wherein the maximum traffic rate results in a maximum throughput rate while minimizing any memory allocation failures due to excessive memory usage.

A method for deploying an application for providing memory overload protection, the method comprising:

• providing a computer infrastructure being operable to:
• determine how much dynamically allocated non-native memory is utilized by a server;
• determine a maximum session lifetime that encompasses a session lifetime of a configured percentile of at least one session, wherein a session lifetime comprises a length of time between allocation and de-allocation of said memory and said configured percentile comprises a percentage of all uses of said memory that are equal to or less than said maximum session lifetime;
• determine a traffic rate over the maximum session lifetime, wherein the traffic rate is comprised of an average traffic rate received from a proxy server and a variance of traffic rate received from the proxy server;
• and
• determine a relationship between the traffic rate and how much dynamically allocated non-native memory is utilized, wherein the determining generates a maximum traffic rate, wherein the maximum traffic rate results in a maximum throughput rate while minimizing any memory allocation failures due to excessive memory usage.
