BANDWIDTH MANAGEMENT BASED ON PROFILES

摘要

Bandwidth management based on profiles is provided. A requesting user using a user device may submit a request concerning access to an application or media file hosted or provided by a content provider. A profile associated with the requested application or media file may be accessed. Such a profile provides information regarding consumption of bandwidth throughout a time period of usage associated with the requested application or media file. Bandwidth requirements associated with the request may be determined based on the profile information, and bandwidth consumption by the user device may be managed based on the bandwidth requirements determined for the requested application or media file and available network bandwidth.

1. A method for bandwidth management based on profiles, the method comprising:
receiving a request submitted by a requesting user using a user device, the request concerning access to an application or media file; and executing instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor:
accesses a profile associated with the requested application or media file, wherein the profile provides information regarding consumption of bandwidth throughout a time period of usage associated with the requested application or media file;determines whether and when bandwidth requirements associated with the requested application or media file exceed available network bandwidth, the determination based on the profile information; andmanages bandwidth consumption of the user device during the time period of usage based on the determination regarding bandwidth requirements associated with the requested application or media file.
