Abstract
The present invention pertains to the allocation of bandwidth on a global large scale network. Systems and methods are provided to base bandwidth allocation on the predicted bandwidth demands of the network users. In allocating bandwidth, each user is assigned a user weight value, and is to be allocated bandwidth in proportion to that value. In addition, the bandwidth allocation is enforced so as to ensure that bandwidth allocation policies are maintained.
