Abstract
A system for balancing component load. In response to receiving a request, data is updated to reflect a current number of pending requests. In response to analyzing the updated data, it is determined whether throttling is necessary. In response to determining that throttling is not necessary, a corresponding request to the received request is created and a flag is set in the corresponding request. Then, the corresponding request is sent to one of a plurality of lower level components of an input/output stack of an operating system for processing based on the analyzed data to balance component load in the input/output stack of the operating system.
