Abstract
Monitoring a level of utilization is provided. A threshold is determined based, at least in part, on a count of service channels of a device. An upper boundary value of a numerical range is determined based, at least in part, on the count of service channels. A lower boundary value of the numerical range is determined based, at least in part, on the threshold. Whether a count of outstanding requests of the device is contained within the numerical range is determined. An estimated level of utilization of the device is determined based, at least in part, on the upper boundary value, the lower boundary value, the count of service channels, and the count of outstanding requests. The estimated level of utilization is reported.
