Abstract
A method for dynamically allocating the capacity of a computer network. All users of the network are classified as low or high priority users. High priority users may broadcast a delay message to the low priority users that cause the low priority users to delay before attempting to use the network. The length of delay can be adjusted if the high priority users are not able to utilize the network as required. In addition, if a low priority user does not receive a broadcast delay message within a predetermined amount of time, the delay period is reset to avoid unnecessary slowing of the network.
