Resource usage is prioritized so as to fail to
provide proper resources only under conditions where success is not
possible. Examples of avoiding improper prioritization abound, but only
theoretical solutions typically exist for achieving optima.
Complexity: The resource allocation problem is well known to be at least
NP-complete, and in practice, optimal resource allocation is not feasible.
Resource limitations are usually addressed by providing more and more
resources until the problems go away - but under malicious attack, this
rarely works.
