Abstract
An embodiment includes determining, based on historical data associated with a specific task, a baseline bandwidth recommendation for completing the specific task. The embodiment assigns, for a first time period, the specific task to a first computing device on a network. The embodiment allocates, for the first time period based on the baseline bandwidth recommendation, a first baseline bandwidth to the first computing device. The embodiment allocates, for the first time period, a portion of a shared buffer bandwidth as a first buffer bandwidth to the first computing device based on a weight value assigned to the specific task. The first buffer bandwidth combines with the first baseline bandwidth as a first total bandwidth for the specific task. The embodiment throttles, during the first time period, data packets associated with the specific task based on the first total bandwidth for the specific task.
