Bandwidth on a front-end port of a storage system may be managed. A plurality of logical storage units may be divided into a plurality of priority groups according to a predefined priority. For a first priority group of the plurality of priority groups having a highest priority, a first forecasted average amount of bandwidth of the first port to be consumed by the logical storage units of the first priority group during a first temporal interval may be determined. Based on the first forecasted average amount, a first reserve amount of bandwidth on the first port to be reserved for use by the logical storage units of the first priority group during the first temporal interval may be determined. The first reserve amount of bandwidth on the first port for use by the logical storage units of the first priority group during the first temporal interval may be reserved.
