Data bandwidth optimization

摘要

Systems and methods for data bandwidth optimization are disclosed. A server receives, from a computing device, a request to begin a network data session. Responsive to receiving the request, the server allows the computing device to access network data at a full speed for a grace time period. Upon expiration of the grace time period, the server allows the computing device to access network data at a reduced speed for a monitoring time period. During the monitoring time period, the server monitors the computing device to determine whether the computing device is accessing network data in bursts or streaming data. Based on whether the computing device is accessing network data in bursts or streaming data, the server either allows the computing device to access network data at the full speed for a waiver time period or allows the computing device to access network data at the reduced speed until completion.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving, from a computing device subject to data throttling, a request to begin a data session on a network; responsive to receiving the request, allowing the computing device to access data via the network at a full network speed for a grace time period; upon expiration of the grace time period, allowing the computing device to access data via the network at a reduced network speed for a monitoring time period; during the monitoring time period, monitoring the computing device to determine whether the computing device is accessing data via the network in bursts or streaming data; and based on whether the computing device is accessing data via the network in bursts or streaming data, either (i) allowing the computing device to access data via the network at the full network speed for a throttling waiver time period or (ii) allowing the computing device to access data via the network at the reduced network speed until completion of the data session.
