In a system including a resource which is shared among a number of users, it is difficult to distribute the available capacity of the resources fairly among the users and still maximize resource utilization. Additionally, it is desirable to allow at least some of the control over usage rates to remain with the users, while at the same time avoiding situations where the resource is overloaded. A system and method are disclosed wherein usage rates are selected from among a set of available rates according to a set of persistence vectors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In a system or method according to an embodiment of the invention, a resource is shared among a set of users.
Each user has a usage rate selected from a set of available rates, and each user's use of the resource is determined at least in part by the user's usage rate.
Each user also has a set of persistence vectors, each vector element corresponding to a rate among the set of available rates.
Selection of a user's usage rate from the set of available rates is based at least in part on one among the set of persistence vectors.
