Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method and device for accessing a network. Background technique
[0002] Currently, network devices provide users with access to the Internet. For example, the user accesses the wide area network through the user's network equipment and the network equipment located in the central office. In addition, users access LAN and MAN through network equipment. For example, a user may use a network device based on time division multiplexing (TDM) (such as T1 or video), or a network device based on packet switching (such as Ethernet) to access the network.
[0003] Unfortunately, network equipment does not provide users with an optimal allocation of bandwidth, time slots, and clock cycles. For example, a user is allocated a time slot of fixed duration, or multiple time slots of fixed duration, irrespective of the user's specific needs. In particular, the user may only need a part of the time slots, or a non-integer multiple of the ...
