Abstract
A device receives available capacity and used capacity associated with a network, receives a connection request from a user device in the network, and receives a maximum capacity threshold associated with the network. The device calculates a minimum capacity threshold and a medium capacity threshold, associated with the network, based on the maximum capacity threshold. The device also determines whether to admit or deny the connection request based on the available capacity, the used capacity, the minimum capacity threshold, the medium capacity threshold, and the maximum capacity threshold. The device further allocates, when the connection request is to be admitted and based on resource availability associated with the network, a particular bit rate, for a particular quality of service (QoS) class, to the connection request.
