Systems, methods, and computer program products for the dynamic management of the capacity of connections to a server. One method includes receiving a request to change a first connection to a server and determining active connections to the server. The method also includes determining a corresponding current capacity of each active connection and determining a new capacity for the first connection and the active connections to the server. The method further includes determining that a spare capacity of the server is insufficient for the first connection. The method also includes allocating a capacity to the first connection based on the request. The method further includes adjusting the current capacity of the active connections, including reducing the current capacity of at least a portion of the active connections in proportion to the respective current capacity of the one or more active connections.
