Abstract
In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, a method is described which comprises receiving data relating to at least one connection from a network (410), deriving statistical information relating to the at least one connection (420), and causing disconnection of at least one of the at least one connection in dependence of the statistical information (430).
Claims14
An apparatus, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive data relating to connections from a network;
- at least one processing core configured to derive statistical information relating to the connections;
- the at least one processing core being configured to cause disconnection of at least one first connection in dependence of the statistical information, and
- wherein the statistical information comprises at least one average idle time, wherein the at least one processing core is configured to cause disconnection of the at least one first connection responsive to an average idle time exceeding a predefined threshold idle time, the average idle time being obtained from averaging idle times of a plurality of second connections, distinct from the first connection, the second connections having a parameter that matches a corresponding parameter of the first connection.
A method, comprising:
- receiving data relating to at least one connection from a network;
- deriving statistical information relating to the at least one connection;
- causing disconnection of at least one first connection in dependence of the statistical information, and
- wherein the statistical information comprises at least one average idle time, wherein the at least one first connection is caused to be disconnected responsive to an average idle time exceeding a predefined threshold idle time, the average idle time being obtained from averaging idle times of a plurality of second connections, distinct from the first connection, the second connections having a parameter that matches a corresponding parameter of the first connection.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium bearing computer program code embodied therein for use with a computer, the computer program code comprising:
- code for receiving data relating to at least one connection from a network;
- code for deriving statistical information relating to the at least one connection;
- code for causing disconnection of at least one first connection in dependence of the statistical information, and
- wherein the statistical information comprises at least one average idle time, wherein the at least one first connection is caused to be disconnected responsive to an average idle time exceeding a predefined threshold idle time, the average idle time being obtained from averaging idle times of a plurality of second connections, distinct from the first connection, the second connections having a parameter that matches a corresponding parameter of the first connection.
