Method and system for managing access congestion

A system for managing access congestion in a computer network, the system comprising at least one processor and a memory storing instructions, that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to execute:

• a subscriber channel module configured to determine a plurality of channels within the computer network and determine a set of subscribers for each of the channels of the plurality of channels;
• an analysis module configured to determine a congestion level of each of the channels of the plurality of channels and determine each subscriber's impact on the respective channel based on each subscriber's network usage, wherein determining each subscriber's impact comprises:
• determining the bandwidth used by each subscriber in the channel;
• determining an overall bandwidth transmitted through the channel:
• determining an average subscriber throughput based on the overall bandwidth of the channel and a number of subscribers associated with the channel;
• and
• determining each subscriber's contribution based on the duration of time each subscriber has throughput higher than the average subscriber throughput on the channel;
• and
• a distribution module configured to determine a reallocation of the subscribers to balance the channels, based on the congestion level and each subscriber's network usage.
