Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a system and method to stabilize high-capacity network infrastructures by monitoring and regulating concurrent connections between a server and various service provider systems in a network. Based on the attributes of the concurrent connections, the connections are logically grouped to form adapters that represent particular combinations of connection attributes. The concurrent connections to an adapter are monitored and regulated to help identify failing components and to manage the load on the network through the use of autonomic computing to optimize network performance and automatically adapt to changing conditions. The regulation of the concurrent connections to an adapter includes the calculation and assignment of a timeout value to new connections to make certain that service provider system response times are low in terms of a success or failure to respond in a timely fashion.
