A method of managing snapshots on a storage system includes a storage controller (1) receiving a request to store a first snapshot associated with a first volume among a plurality of volumes on the storage system and (2) determining if an assigned snapshot reserve space remaining associated with the first volume is less than an amount of space that is required to store the first snapshot. In response to the assigned snapshot reserve space remaining being less than the amount of space required, borrowing snapshot reserve space from at least one of an unused assigned space or an unused unassigned space within the storage system and storing at least a portion of the first snapshot to the borrowed snapshot reserve space.

Rules for classifying traffic in a communications network are set by collecting traffic data related to traffic that is input into a network node, processing the traffic data that is collected, and setting classification rules in response to the processed traffic data, wherein the set classification rules are used to classify subsequent input traffic. In an embodiment, subsequent traffic is classified according to the set classification rules. In another embodiment, traffic conditioning rules are also set in response to the processed traffic data and subsequent input traffic is conditioned according to the set traffic conditioning rules.
