Abstract
A computer-implemented method for managing upstream bandwidth of a network including changing QoS settings, by a router, of a video device of a plurality of video devices in the network to a higher priority than other of the plurality of video devices. The plurality of video devices concurrently transmit video data. The computer-implemented method further includes estimating an overall upstream bandwidth by the higher priority video device and determining operating rates, by the router, for the plurality of video devices, such that said modem buffer is not backlogged.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method for managing upstream bandwidth of a network comprising:
- changing QoS settings, by a router, of a video device of a plurality of video devices in said network to a higher priority than other video devices of said plurality of video devices, wherein said plurality of video devices concurrently transmit video data;
- estimating an overall upstream bandwidth, wherein said estimating is performed by said higher priority video device;
- and
- determining operating rates, by said router, for said plurality of video devices, such that said modem buffer is not backlogged.
A computer-implemented method for managing upstream bandwidth of a network comprising:
- changing QoS settings in a round-robin manner, by a router, of each video device of a plurality of video devices in said network to a higher priority than other video devices of said plurality of video devices, wherein said plurality of video devices concurrently transmit video data;
- and
- determining an overall upstream bandwidth, by said router, such that a modem buffer is not backlogged.
