Abstract: A computer-implemented system is disclosed for managing bandwidth usage rates in a packet switched network. The system includes one or more servers configured to execute computer program steps. The computer program steps comprises monitoring bandwidth usage rate at a first provider interface, determining if bandwidth usage rate at the provider interface exceeds a bandwidth usage rate limit; and rerouting Internet traffic from the provider interface having bandwidth that exceeds the bandwidth usage rate limit to a second provider interface having available bandwidth capacity.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for optimizing traffic in a packet-switched network in the presence of Internet exchanges. In accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, a system is disclosed for optimizing Internet traffic on a computer network. The system includes one or more servers configured to execute computer programs steps. The computer program steps comprises configuring peers on an Internet exchange including identifying one or more peers on the Internet exchange that provide Internet service to a destination network, determining performance metrics of the one or more peers on an Internet exchange to determine at least one peer to which the Internet traffic may be re-routed, and determining if the Internet traffic for the destination network will be re-routed through the at least one peer based on the performance metrics.
