System, method, and computer program product for dynamic bandwidth provisioning
First Claim
1. A method for dynamic bandwidth provisioning, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a provisioning event requesting a maximum data rate for a modem;
generating a modem configuration file for the modem to implement the maximum data rate based on the provisioning event; and
transmitting the modem configuration file to the modem such that the modem will implement the maximum data rate.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for dynamic bandwidth provisioning, including receiving from a service provider a generated provisioning event requesting a maximum data rate for a modem based upon a level of service purchased by an end-user from the service provider in all cases; determining whether or not the provisioning event is a time-limited provisioning event; and performing one of the following steps: (a) transmitting a configuration file allowing the modem to operate up to the maximum data rate, if it is determined that the provisioning event is not a time-limited provisioning event or if it is determined that the provisioning event is a time-limited provisioning event that has not yet expired, and (b) transmitting a configuration file restoring the modem to operate at a previous data rate, if it is determined that the provisioning event is a time-limited provisioning event that has expired.

19. A computer program product, comprising:
-
a computer storage medium; and
a computer program code mechanism embedded in the computer storage medium for causing a processor to perform dynamic bandwidth provisioning, the computer program code mechanism having, a first computer code device configured to receive a provisioning event requesting a maximum data rate for a modem, a second computer code device configured to generate a modem configuration file for the modem to implement the maximum data rate based on the provisioning event, and a third computer code device configured to transmit the modem configuration file to the modem such that the modem will implement the maximum data rate.
