Abstract
A system and method of conducting resource flow control sessions in a computer network comprises sending a resource request from a client computer to a server computer; assigning to the client computer a flow control window, wherein a size of a flow control window is based on resources available to the server computer and a level of activity of a corresponding client computer, wherein the server computer is in any of a busy and idle state of activity; determining whether to change the size of the flow control window upon receiving the resource request based on the level of activity of the corresponding client computer and a current utilization of resources during a particular session of use; tracking a number of active sessions of use of the resources in a predetermined time window; and maintaining the flow control window with a maximum queue size per number of sessions value.
