  • Systems and methods for dynamic bandwidth allocation and optimization
    Patent number: 11196653
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an amount of aggregated bandwidth consumption for a set of computing devices on a network may be determined for a first time period. An amount of available bandwidth on the network may be determined for the first time period. A ratio of the amount of aggregated bandwidth consumption to the amount of available bandwidth may be determined. A bandwidth threshold may be determined based on the ratio. A rate limit for a first computing device (of the set of computing devices) may be set based on a comparison of the bandwidth threshold to bandwidth consumption of the first computing device.
    Type: Grant

  • Systems and methods for dynamically setting a rate limit for a computing device
    Patent number: 10666535
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, facilitation of a dynamic rate limit may be provided. In some embodiments, an amount of aggregated bandwidth consumption for a set of computing devices on a network may be determined for a first time period. A total amount of available bandwidth on the network may be determined for the first time period. A ratio of the amount of aggregated bandwidth consumption to the total amount of available bandwidth may be determined. A bandwidth threshold may be determined based on the ratio. A rate limit for a first computing device (of the set of computing devices) may be dynamically set based on a comparison of the bandwidth threshold to bandwidth consumption of the first computing device.

  • Method and apparatus for dynamic bandwidth allocation for optimizing network utilization
    Patent number: 9800483
    Abstract: An apparatus is configured to receive at a time a datum associated with use of a network by a set of compute devices using the network. The apparatus is also configured to calculate at least one threshold value based, at least in part, on the datum and a bandwidth capacity of the network at the time. The apparatus is also configured to receive a usage value associated with bandwidth use of a compute device from the set of compute devices and associated with a time period immediately preceding the time. The apparatus is further configured to compare the usage value with the at least one threshold value to determine a usage category associated with the compute device. The apparatus is configured to limit bandwidth use of the network for the compute device based on the usage category.
