Abstract

A method, computer program product, and computing system for allocating a first number of tokens from a plurality of tokens for processing read IO requests from a read IO queue, thus defining a number of allocated read tokens. A second number of tokens may be allocated from the plurality of tokens for processing write IO requests from a write IO queue, thus defining a number of allocated write tokens. It may be determined that the processing of the write IO requests is throttled. In response to determining that the processing of the write IO requests from the write IO queue is throttled, a maximum allowable number of write tokens may be defined. Additional tokens may be allocated for processing the read IO requests from the read IO queue based upon, at least in part, the maximum allowable number of write tokens and the number of allocated write tokens.
