ALLOCATION OF NETWORK BANDWIDTH AND PRIORITIZATION IN NETWORKS

摘要

A method and system for allocating network bandwidth under alarm conditions. In one aspect, a method of the present invention for allocating network bandwidth to nodes on a network under alarm conditions includes determining that an alarm condition exists for at least one node on the network, and causing an increase in the network bandwidth allocation of the at least one node having the alarm condition. In other aspects, bandwidth requirements of the alarmed node are determined and used in allocating the increased bandwidth.
