Abstract

The aspects of the present invention manage an allocation of resources for network devices in a networked system. With an aspect of the invention, a usage of a resource is gauged by a number of tokens that are associated with an action for a designated network device. The action is assigned at least one thread, where a thread corresponds to a process that supports the action. As requested, processes are initiated when an available number of tokens in a token pool can support the action. A request is stored in a request queue if a required number of tokens or threads are not available. The associated action for the designated network device is subsequently initiated when the required number of tokens and threads are available. When an action for a device completes, the assigned tokens and threads are released for reassignment in order to initiate an action for another device.
