Abstract
A method for configuring admission control of service instances in a network element may include: (i) reading a pre-determined maximum service-idle utilization of a processor approximately equal to maximum utilization of the processor in the absence of services executing on the processor; (ii) reading, for each particular service instance of a desired configuration of service instances, a pre-determined maximum utilization of the processor associated with the particular service instance; (iii) calculating an aggregate maximum utilization for the desired configuration, based on the pre-determined maximum service-idle utilization and the pre-determined maximum utilizations for each of the particular service instances; (iv) determining whether the aggregate maximum utilization is greater than a threshold maximum utilization for the processor; (v) allowing or denying the desired configuration based on the determination.
