A method includes establishing an expected traffic load for a plurality of servers, wherein each server has a respective actual capacity. The method further includes limiting the actual capacity of each server to respective available capacities, wherein a combined available capacity that is based on the available capacities corresponds to the expected traffic load. The method also includes dynamically altering the respective available capacity of the servers based on the failure of at least one server.
