Abstract
A bandwidth guaranteeing apparatus includes a controller that collects guaranteed communication rate for a plurality of devices on an OVC between a user-side apparatus and the bandwidth guaranteeing apparatus; and a determiner that obtains the smallest value of the guaranteed communication rate collected by the controller and upon a bandwidth change request that is for the OVC and from the user-side apparatus, determines whether the bandwidth change request can be accepted, based on the obtained guaranteed communication rate.
