Abstract
A bandwidth allocation and quality control system interacts with a manifest for a mobile communication platform (MCP), to identify specific IP addresses designated for bandwidth guarantees and corresponding a particular passenger of the MCP. The system monitors IP addresses of packets communicated between the MCP and a machine communication network external to the MCP, and compares the IP addresses of the packets to the IP addresses corresponding to the particular passenger, and if the packets are from the particular passenger and match one of the corresponding IP addresses, and if a limited duration event is underway for the MCP, to communicate the packets to the external machine network with a bandwidth guarantee.
