Abstract:
Novel solutions to provide enhanced configurability of network access. Such solutions can provide, inter alia, enhanced utilization of network resources (including without limitation network aggregation devices, such as DSLAMs and the like). In an aspect of some solutions, a network aggregation device can divide an aggregate uplink bandwidth into a plurality of time slots. Some or all of the time slots can be reserved for different customers (subscribers). In another aspect of some embodiments, the time slots can be allocated in such a way as to simulate oversubscription of the aggregate uplink bandwidth

Claim (Index 20):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a non-transitory computer readable medium having encoded thereon a set of instructions executable by one or more computers to perform one or more operations, the set of instructions comprising: instructions for configuring a network aggregation device that provides network connections for a plurality of subscribers, the network aggregation device having an aggregate uplink bandwidth; instructions for dividing the aggregate upstream bandwidth into a plurality of time slots; instructions reserving one or more of the plurality of time slots for each of the plurality of subscribers, including reserving a first subset of the plurality of timeslots for a first subscriber, the first subset of timeslots comprising a first one or more timeslots; and instructions for simulating oversubscription of the aggregate uplink bandwidth, in the absence of actual oversubscription of the aggregate uplink bandwidth, through allocation of the plurality of timeslots, wherein simulating oversubscription comprises transmitting network traffic for the first subscriber only during the first subset of the plurality of timeslots.
