Abstract:
1. An apparatus for limiting bandwidths of burst aggregate flows, the apparatus comprising: a bandwidth measuring unit measuring a bandwidth of at least one input aggregate flow using characteristics of the at least one aggregate flows; a grade determining unit determining an abnormal grade according to an abnormal level of the at least one input aggregate flows; a bandwidth limit determining unit determining abnormal aggregate flows and their bandwidth to be limited on the basis of the measured bandwidth, abnormal grade, and a network state; a bandwidth limiting unit inputting a result determined by the bandwidth limit determining unit, limiting or releasing a bandwidth of the abnormal aggregate flows selected among the at least one input aggregate flow and outputting the selected aggregate flow; and a status information storage unit storing status information, including a usage bandwidth, an abnormal grade, and a limited bandwidth of the at least one input aggregate flows.
