Abstract
A method for notifying a service provider, performed in a telecommunications network, said method comprising the following steps of: selecting a stream of data transported in the telecommunications network for at least one user terminal of the service provider; comparing a bandwidth value consumed by the selected data stream with a bandwidth threshold; sending a notification to the service provider, said notification comprising at least one identifier of the selected data stream and an indication of the result of the comparison.
Claims11
A method for notifying a service provider, implemented in a telecommunications network, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- detecting at least one negotiation message for setting up a data stream, wherein the negotiation message comprise a first attribute that identifies a protocol used to transport the data stream;
- detecting the protocol used to transport the data stream based on the first attribute;
- if the detected protocol corresponds to a certain protocol, selecting the data stream transported in the telecommunications network for at least one user terminal of said service provider;
- comparing a value of bandwidth consumed by said selected data stream to a bandwidth threshold;
- sending a notification to the service provider, the notification comprising at least one identifier of the selected data stream and an indication of a result of said comparison.
A system for notifying a service provider, the system comprising:
- a sensor configured to detect a protocol used to transport a data stream and to select the data stream transported in a telecommunications network, for at least one user terminal of said service provider, if the detected protocol correspond to a certain protocol based on a prior detection of at least one negotiation message for setting up the data stream, said data stream selection being based on said negotiation message wherein the negotiation message comprises a first attribute that identifies a protocol used to transport the data stream, said data stream selection being based on said first attribute:
- comparison means for comparing a value of the bandwidth consumed by said selected data stream to a bandwidth threshold;
- a notification server configured to send a notification to the service provider, the notification comprising at least one identifier of the selected stream and an indication of a result of said comparison.
