Abstract: A telecommunication system uses a dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithm based on current load conditions for controlling transmissions to a plurality of access modules of an access node in order to achieve a fair allocation of network bandwidth at the access node. As an example, access modules at an access node communicate via a control channel with dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) logic that receives load information from each of the access modules. Using such load information, the DBA logic dynamically controls the upstream data rates so that a fair allocation of network bandwidth is achieved across all of the access modules. Specifically, the data rates are controlled such that packet flows for services of the same class achieve the same or similar performance (e.g., average data rate) regardless of which access module is receiving each respective packet flow.
