Bandwidth adjustment method and gateway

Abstract

The application discloses a bandwidth adjustment method and a gateway, which relate to the communication field and are used for dynamically allocating the bandwidth of each user in the gateway. The bandwidth adjustment method includes: determining the average bandwidth allocation of each user based on the number of current access users and the total bandwidth; obtaining the real-time traffic of the user during the monitoring period, wherein the real-time traffic is smaller than the current bandwidth; if the real-time traffic in multiple consecutive monitoring periods If the flow rate is less than the monitoring threshold, the current bandwidth is reduced according to the first adjustment granularity, wherein the monitoring threshold is smaller than the average allocated bandwidth, and the first adjustment granularity is smaller than the difference between the average allocated bandwidth and the monitoring threshold; If the real-time traffic in multiple monitoring periods is greater than or equal to the monitoring threshold, the current bandwidth is increased according to the second adjustment granularity. The embodiment of the present application is applied to the allocation of bandwidth by the home gateway.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a bandwidth adjustment method and a gateway. Background technique [0002] Home users access external networks through home gateways. Home gateways, as the core equipment for home users to realize broadband access, play an important role in people's daily life. At present, the access bandwidth on the exit side of the home gateway (WideArea Network (WAN)) is limited by the operator on the broadband access device (such as Broadband Access Server (BRAS)) according to the payment situation of the user. . But the use of bandwidth by various users within the home network is a way of competition. There are often some home users (such as users who download software for a long time through Thunder) occupy most of the bandwidth for a long time, which will greatly affect the Internet access speed of other users, and the user experience is very poor. Although the above-mentioned problems can be ...

Problems solved by technology

There are often some home users (such as users who download software such as Thunder for a long time) occupy most of the bandwidth for a long time, which will greatly affect the Internet access speed of other users, and the user experience is very poor

Although the above-mentioned problems can be avoided by limiting the speed of specific users on the home gateway, in the case of sufficient bandwidth resources, limiting the user's access rate is a waste of resources and will affect the experience of users with high bandwidth requirements.
