Abstract
A session based resource control system for a server including a resource controller that receives a stream of arriving messages from one or more clients targeted for the server. The resource controller relays to the server the messages and a corresponding resource share for each message as a stream of resource allocated messages. The resource share is based on the resource rate for that session as determined by a resource monitor. The server then processes each message in accordance with its resource share and generates a stream of completed messages. The objective is for the resource control system to achieve fairness whenever there is contention for resources between or amongst the sessions.
