Abstract:
An Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) Quality of Experience (QoE) Management Unit manages bandwidth usage and QoE at a customer premises where multiple client devices independently download content from multiple providers. An overall virtual pipe to the premises includes a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) inner pipe, a non-HTTP inner pipe, an ABR inner pipe, and a non-ABR inner pipe. The Unit determines a data cap for a current billing cycle; and determines, based on policy management settings and the data cap for the current billing cycle, at least one of: a bandwidth cap for the overall virtual pipe, a bandwidth cap for the HTTP inner pipe, a bandwidth cap for the non-HTTP inner pipe, a bandwidth cap for the ABR inner pipe, and a bandwidth cap for the non-ABR inner pipe. Responsive to the determination of the bandwidth caps, the Unit throttles traffic within at least one of the inner pipes.

Claim (Index 1):
A method in a computer-controlled Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) Quality of Experience (QoE) Management Unit for managing bandwidth usage and QoE at a customer premises where multiple client devices independently download content from multiple providers, the method comprising:\n determining a data cap for a current billing cycle day; determining, based on policy management settings and the data cap for the current billing cycle day, a premises bandwidth cap for an overall pipe to the premises; and responsive to the determination of the bandwidth cap, throttling traffic within the overall pipe to the premises.
