Methods, systems, and computer program products for modifying bandwidth and/or quality of service for a user session in a network
First Claim
1. A method of modifying bandwidth and/or Quality of Service (QoS) for a user session in a network that comprises a Regional/Access Network (RAN) that facilitates differentiated end-to-end data transport between a Network Service Provider (NSP) and/or an Application Service Provider (ASP) and a Customer Premises Network (CPN) that includes Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), comprising:
- receiving a request at the NSP and/or the ASP to change bandwidth and/or QoS associated with the user'"'"'s session; and
using Application Programming Interface (API) calls at the NSP and/or the ASP to communicate with the RAN to modify the bandwidth and/or QoS associated with the user'"'"'s session.

Abstract
Bandwidth and/or Quality of Service (QoS) for a user session may be modified in a network that includes a Regional/Access Network (RAN) that facilitates differentiated end-to-end data transport between a Network Service Provider (NSP) and/or an Application Service Provider (ASP) and a Customer Premises Network (CPN) that includes a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) by receiving a request at the NSP and/or the ASP to change the bandwidth and/or QoS associated with the user'"'"'s session. An Application Programming Interface (API) is used at the NSP and/or the ASP to communicate with the RAN to modify the bandwidth and/or QoS associated with the user'"'"'s session.

19. A system for modifying bandwidth and/or Quality of Service (QoS) for a user session in a network that comprises a Regional/Access Network (RAN) that facilitates differentiated end-to-end data transport between a Network Service Provider (NSP) and/or an Application Service Provider (ASP) and a Customer Premises Network (CPN) that includes Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), comprising:
-
means for receiving a request at the NSP and/or the ASP to change bandwidth and/or QoS associated with the user'"'"'s session; and
means for using Application Programming Interface (API) calls at the NSP and/or the ASP to communicate with the RAN to modify the bandwidth and/or QoS associated with the user'"'"'s session. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A computer program product for modifying bandwidth and/or Quality of Service (QoS) for a user session in a network that comprises a Regional/Access Network (RAN) that facilitates differentiated end-to-end data transport between a Network Service Provider (NSP) and/or an Application Service Provider (ASP) and a Customer Premises Network (CPN) that includes Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), comprising:
-
a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code comprising;
computer readable program code configured to receive a request at the NSP and/or the ASP to change bandwidth and/or QoS associated with the user'"'"'s session; and
computer readable program code configured to use Application Programming Interface (API) calls at the NSP and/or the ASP to communicate with the RAN to modify the bandwidth and/or QoS associated with the user'"'"'s session. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54)

55. A method of modifying bandwidth and/or Quality of Service (QoS) for a user session in a network that comprises a Regional/Access Network (RAN) that facilitates differentiated end-to-end data transport between a Network Service Provider (NSP) and/or an Application Service Provider (ASP) and a Customer Premises Network (CPN) that includes Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), comprising:
-
receiving a request at the NSP and/or the ASP to change bandwidth and/or QoS associated with the user'"'"'s session; and
using messaging interface calls at the NSP and/or the ASP to communicate with the RAN to modify the bandwidth and/or QoS associated with the user'"'"'s session.
