SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING BANDWIDTH USAGE RATES IN A PACKET-SWITCHED NETWORK

摘要

A computer-implemented system is disclosed for managing bandwidth usage rates in a packet switched network. The system includes one or more servers configured to execute computer program steps. The computer program steps comprises monitoring bandwidth usage rate at a first provider interface, determining if bandwidth usage rate at the provider interface exceeds a bandwidth usage rate limit; and rerouting Internet traffic from the provider interface having bandwidth that exceeds the bandwidth usage rate limit to a second provider interface having available bandwidth capacity.
