Dynamic modification of a subscriber connection

摘要

A database server stores in a subscriber record one or more attributes of an active subscriber connection coupling a computing device associated with the subscriber, including a data rate attribute. The database server receives a request to modify one or more of the attributes of the active subscriber connection including at least to modify the data rate attribute. The database server modifies the at least one of the attributes including modifying at least the data rate attribute and transmits the at least one modified attribute including at least the modified data rate attribute for the active subscriber connection to the network element to cause the network element to modify a corresponding attribute without disconnecting the subscriber connection from the network element.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
storing, in a subscriber record associated with a subscriber at a database server, one or more attributes of an active subscriber connection coupling a computing device associated with the subscriber to a network, wherein the one or more attributes includes at least a data rate attribute for the active subscriber connection; receiving, at the database server, a request to modify one or more attributes of the active subscriber connection including at least the data rate attribute for the active subscriber connection; modifying, at the database server, at least one of the one or more attributes of the active subscriber connection including modifying at least the data rate attribute for the active subscriber connection; and transmitting, by the database server to a network element coupled with the computing device, at least one modified attribute including at least the modified data rate attribute for the active subscriber connection to cause the network element to modify a corresponding attribute without disconnecting the active subscriber connection from the network element.
