Abstract

In the scaled recovery system of the present invention, clients delay for an additional period of time prior to attempting to access a previously unavailable resource that has since become available, rather than accessing the shared resource at full speed once an initial back off interval is over. Through the continual increment and decrement of client back off intervals, the present invention provides dynamic tuning of overall system load in the case of overloaded shared resources.
