First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for enhanced delivery of network-based content, the method comprising:
- receiving a request to deliver content via a network to an end-user device;
identifying a network resource that is implicated by the delivery request;
manipulating the network resource; and
delivering the content through utilization of the manipulated resource.

Abstract
A computer implemented system and method provide for the dynamic bandwidth allocation shift from an end user'"'"'s committed rate. A service provider receives a request to enhance bandwidth between an end user and a content provider. The service provider queries endpoint information for the end user and identifies the committed rate of the end user. An acceptable enhanced bandwidth shift is determined. The policy manager is signaled to take action to implement the acceptable enhanced bandwidth shift and subsequently shift back to the committed rate. Such a system may include service logic communicating through a content provider signaling interface, a BSS integration interface, and a network equipment provider communicator.

8. A computer-implemented system for enhanced delivery of network-based content to an end-user device, the system comprising:
-
service logic stored on a computer-readable medium; a signaling interface in communication with the service logic, via which requests for enhanced delivery of the content may be received; a BSS integration interface in communication with the service logic, via which an identity of the end-user device may be ascertained; and a network equipment provider interface in communication with the service logic, via which a policy manager may be signaled to manipulate a network resource. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
