First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for allowing a user to dynamically control an amount of bandwidth available to the user in a network, the system comprising:
- a first network interface for communicating over a communication link with a user device during a network session;
a second network interface for communicating with one or more computer networks;
a data storage system including an indication of a network communication bandwidth associated with the user device; and
a processor configured to calculate a delay period associated with a received packet based on the network communication bandwidth associated with the user, and the processor further configured to delay transmission of the packet based on the delay period.

Abstract
A method of dynamically managing transmission of packets is disclosed. The method, in some embodiments, may comprise establishing a network session over a communication link between a network and a user device of a user and associating a data transmission parameter with the user device. The method may further comprise receiving a packet and calculating a delay period associated with the packet based on the data transmission parameter and delaying transmission of the packet based on the delay period.
