Abstract
Systems and methods for a representative bandwidth calculation in a network include receiving a request for representative bandwidth information; obtaining network measurements; combining, filtering, and retiming network measurements based on the request to determine the representative bandwidth information. The systems and methods convert the combined, filtered, and retimed network measurements into the representative bandwidth information which has an additive property in an algebraic domain. The additive property enables the representative bandwidth information to be used for admission control, overbooking determinations, network planning, and/or dynamic pricing in the network.

17. A server configured to perform a representative bandwidth calculation in a network, the server comprising:
-
a network interface; a processor coupled to the network interface; and memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to receive, via the network interface, a request for representative bandwidth information, obtain network measurements, and combine, filter, and retimed the network measurements based on the request to determine the representative bandwidth information. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
