Abstract
An approach is provided for managing an allocation of a bandwidth of a dedicated channel in a network being utilized by an application performing a replication of data from a first to a second storage resource. Checks of parameters specified by the application are determined. The parameters include, but are not limited to, average compression ratio, compression ratio trend, throughput, throughput trend, and round trip time. Respective high and low threshold values for the parameters are determined. At least one of the checks of the parameters is executed, which determines a violation of a threshold value for one of the parameters. If the violation of the high threshold value is determined, an increase in the bandwidth is triggered. If the violation of the low threshold value is determined, a decrease in the bandwidth is triggered.
