System and method for dynamically shaping network traffic
First Claim
1. A system for dynamically shaping data packet traffic on a packet network comprising:
- at least one customer access node for communicating said data packets on said packet network;
at least one customer premises equipment in communication with said at least one customer access node;
at least one Internet gateway for communicating said data packets from an Internet, said at least one Internet gateway in communication with said at least one customer access node through said packet network; and
at least one data packet rate shaper in communication with said at least one Internet gateway for shaping the rates of transmission of said data packets through said packet network based on network performance data transmitted by said at least one customer access node to said Internet gateway.

Abstract
A system for dynamically shaping data packet traffic on a packet network including at least one customer access node for communicating the data packets on the packet network; at least one customer premises equipment in communication with the at least one customer access node; at least one Internet gateway for communicating the data packets from an Internet, the at least one Internet gateway in communication with the at least one customer access node through the packet network; and at least one data packet rate shaper in communication with the at least one Internet gateway for shaping the rates of transmission of the data packets through the packet network based on network performance data transmitted by the at least one customer access node to the Internet gateway. A method for dynamically shaping data packet traffic on a packet network is also included.

9. A method for dynamically shaping data packet traffic on a packet network comprising:
-
determining network performance information relating to said data packets communicated between an Internet gateway and a customer access node on said packet network; concatenating said network performance information in said data packets; transmitting said network performance information to said Internet gateway; and adjusting the number of said data packets to be communicated by said Internet gateway through said packet network based on said network performance information. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
