Abstract

An apparatus and method for bandwidth control is provided to keep the bandwidth more stable. The apparatus includes an interval signal generator, a storage unit, and a control circuit. The interval signal generator outputs a plurality of interval signals which are evenly or approximately evenly distributed over a time interval. The value of the storage unit corresponds to a transmittable data size. The control circuit adjusts the value of the storage unit according to the interval signals.
