Abstract
An apparatus for managing local devices, wherein the apparatus is operatively connectable with a network to manage network traffic. The apparatus can include computer instructions to identify and track a Media Access Control identifier using the network. The apparatus can also include computer instructions to direct traffic to a path associated with the Media Access Control identifier, computer instructions to measure the bit rate passing through the path associated with the Media Access Control identifier; and computer instructions to adjust the bit rate allowed to pass through the path. The decision to adjust the bit rate allowed to pass through the path can be determined using rolling quotas.
