Abstract
A network resource, such as bandwidth, is reserved by obtaining historical usage data relating to usage of the network resource over a period of time, and determining an amount by which the network resource can be oversubscribed based on the historical usage data. Current usage data relating to current usage of the network resource may also be determined. The amount by which the network resource can be oversubscribed may be determined based additionally on the current usage data.
