CA 2520516

Methods and devices are provided for regulating traffic on a network. According to some aspects of the invention, if a subscriber's upstream traffic exceeds a predetermined level over a first period of time, the subscriber's quality of service is adjusted without requiring the subscriber to re- register. According to some embodiments, a first token bucket is used to determine whether the subscriber's upstream traffic exceeds the predetermined level over the first period of time. In some such embodiments, the first token bucket is used to control the burst size of another token bucket, depending on the subscriber's upstream traffic during the first period of time.

La présente invention concerne des procédés et dispositifs de régulation du trafic dans un réseau. Pour certains aspects de l'invention, lorsque le trafic amont d'un abonné dépasse un niveau défini pendant une première tranche de temps, on adapte la qualité de service de l'abonné sans demander à l'abonné de se réinscrire. Pour certains modes de réalisation, on utilise une première corbeille de jetons pour vérifier que le trafic amont de l'abonné dépasse le niveau défini pendant la première tranche de temps. Dans certains de ces modes de réalisation, le premier panier de jetons sert à vérifier les dimensions de la rafale d'un autre panier de jetons, en fonction du trafic amont de l'abonné pendant la première tranche de temps.
