Apparatus, system and method for implementing access bandwidth dynamic regulation

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for realizing the access bandwidth dynamic adjustment. In the method, a device for realizing the access bandwidth dynamic adjustment captures current uplink and downlink rate information of a user host, matching is carried out according to the rate information and locally preserved change strategies and whether the bandwidth is required to be changed is judged. If yes, a bandwidth change request is initiated to a bandwidth application service node, wherein, applied bandwidth adjustment parameters are included in the request. The bandwidth application service node sends the received bandwidth change request to a global resource management system and judges that whether the bandwidth change request is allowed according to a feedback result which is returned by the global resource management system. If yes, a bandwidth change instruction with new bandwidth value is sent to a strategy execution system. The strategy execution system adjusts the bandwidth of the user host according to the bandwidth change instruction. With the method adopted, the threshold of the on-demand bandwidth in use is lowered greatly and users can enjoy optimized access bandwidth under the condition that the users do not contact the bandwidth change technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of wired and wireless broadband communications, in particular to a device, system and method for realizing dynamic adjustment of access bandwidth. Background technique [0002] In the field of wired or wireless broadband access, it is difficult for access service providers to provide all users with the highest continuous access bandwidth for the following reasons: [0003] First, access service providers cannot provide the highest access bandwidth for all users, because when the usage of online users and network applications surges, the network aggregation layer and core routing layer cannot bear the sum of uplink and downlink rates that these bandwidths may bring ; [0004] Second, access service providers want to limit access bandwidth and provide differentiated access bandwidth services to suit different consumer groups; [0005] Third, some front-end access lines and equipment cannot provide users with h...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Third, some front-end access lines and equipment cannot provide users with high access bandwidth due to technical reasons

However, the disadvantages of this method are as follows: First, the knowledge level of users varies greatly, and some users may not know when the bandwidth needs to be changed, or users may not know when it is more economical and appropriate to start changing the bandwidth

This kind of threshold can easily cause the access service provider to lose customers on this value-added service; second, the user may end the demand for higher bandwidth in advance, but the duration of the setting is too long or the user forgets to manually end the bandwidth change. As a result, users have to pay more fees, and access service providers' access devices are occupied with more bandwidth that does not function in the sense of bandwidth resource management

On the contrary, if the user needs to maintain the demand for higher bandwidth, but the bandwidth change is stopped early because the duration of the setting is too short, it will also bring inconvenience to the user; third, the user is performing a specific operation or using a specific application, even advanced users often do not know exactly how much bandwidth they need
