ABSTRACT:
An electronic bridge resource management system, having a programmatically-implemented processing system. A bridge service interfaces with a plurality of clients and receives a quality of service (QOS) specification from each of the clients. A resource manager receives a QOS specification from the bridge service, distributes at least one QOS constraint associated with the QOS specification across flow processing modules of a channel, determines resource requirements for each of the flow processing modules, and then determines whether bridge resources can be allocated to meet the QOS specification. The clients may alter their QOS specifications and retry if the resource manager denies them admission because of a lack of available bridge resources.
