Abstract:
1. A computing device-implemented method, comprising: receiving, by the computing device, available capacity and used capacity associated with a network; receiving, by the computing device, a connection request from a user device in the network; receiving, by the computing device, a maximum capacity threshold associated with the network; calculating, by the computing device, a minimum capacity threshold and a medium capacity threshold, associated with the network, based on the maximum capacity threshold; determining, by the computing device, whether to admit or deny the connection request based on the available capacity, the used capacity, the minimum capacity threshold, the medium capacity threshold, and the maximum capacity threshold; and allocating, by the computing device and when the connection request is to be admitted, a particular bit rate, for a particular quality of service (QoS) class, to the connection request based on the available capacity and the used capacity, and based on at least one of the minimum capacity threshold, the medium capacity threshold, or the maximum capacity threshold.
