Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for managing data streams for data transfer operations, the method comprising: in response to a request to transfer a data set from a source system to a target system over a network, activating, by an adaptive performance control (APC) controller, a primary data stream and a first secondary data stream from a set of allocated data streams to transfer the data set from the source system to the target system; monitoring an overall throughput of the activated data streams for a first predetermined period of time; deactivating the first secondary data stream from the activated data streams if the overall throughput drops below a first predetermined threshold over the first predetermined period of time; suspending an operation of the APC controller for a second predetermined period of time in response to determining that the overall throughput drop is not greater than the first predetermined threshold and there is at least one allocated data stream that has been previously deactivated; and reactivating the first secondary data stream that has been previously deactivated, after the second predetermined period of time.
