Dynamic Bandwidth Shaping Algorithm for Internet Traffic Sharing Environments

-For emerging Internet services and contents in the traffic-sharing environment of limited bandwidth capacity, an efficient method is required to manage the Internet-sharing problem and to improve quality of service (QoS) for highdemand bandwidth users. The results of our study show that dynamically delaying un-attended Internet usage activities, such as large file downloading, will drive more bandwidth usage optimization. Moreover, Internet users can reach higher speeds for high-priority activities (web browsing, emailing, small file transferring, etc.) when there is available bandwidth at times of low overall Internet resource usage. The results after implementing “Dynamic Bandwidth Shaping” show that about 40% of overall bandwidth utilization was improved; each client experienced higher Internet speed; and a majority of customer satisfaction ratings were improved under the experiment conditions.
