SC-6 Resource Availability
Control
Protect the availability of resources by allocating [Assignment: resources] by [Assignment: Selection (one-or-more): priority | quota | [sc-06_odp.03] ].
Discussion
Priority protection prevents lower-priority processes from delaying or interfering with the system that services higher-priority processes. Quotas prevent users or processes from obtaining more than predetermined amounts of resources.
