Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for implementing bandwidth control services are provided. The method includes assigning a quality of service preference to a device. The method also includes associating a service session with the device. The method further includes executing a control action for at least one other simultaneously occurring service session when a quality of service level of the service session differs from the quality of service preference by a specified degree. The control action is operable for producing and maintaining the quality of service preference.
Claims23
A method for implementing bandwidth control services, comprising:
- assigning a quality of service preference to a device;
- associating a service session with the device;
- and
- executing a control action for at least one other simultaneously occurring service session when a quality of service level of the service session differs from the quality of service preference by a specified degree, the control action operable for producing and maintaining the quality of service preference.
A system for implementing bandwidth control services, comprising:
- a processor;
- a bandwidth control application executing on the processor, performing:
- assigning a quality of service preference to a device;
- associating a service session with the device;
- and
- executing a control action for at least one other simultaneously occurring service session when a quality of service level of the service session differs from the quality of service preference by a specified degree, the control action operable for producing and maintaining the quality of service preference.
A computer program product for implementing bandwidth control services, the computer program product including instructions for implementing a method comprising the steps of:
- assigning a quality of service preference to a device;
- associating a service session with the device;
- and
- executing a control action for at least one other simultaneously occurring service session when a quality of service level of the service session differs from the quality of service preference by a specified degree, the control action operable for producing and maintaining the quality of service preference.
A method for implementing bandwidth control services, comprising:
- measuring characteristics of a service session associated with a device, the device assigned a preference;
- and
- executing a control action upon the occurrence of an event detected in response to the measuring, the event determined to impact a quality of service level specified in the preference.
