==DYNAMIC TRANSMISSION BANDWIDTH CONTRACTS BETWEEN HUB AND SPOKE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17961347 titled 'DYNAMIC TRANSMISSION BANDWIDTH CONTRACTS BETWEEN HUB AND SPOKE DEVICES

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a system and method for configuring a plurality of branch gateway (BGW) devices coupled to a virtual private network concentrator (VPNC). The VPNC negotiates transmission bandwidth contracts with BGW devices, allocates additional bandwidth as needed, and updates contracts accordingly.

* Negotiation of transmission bandwidth contracts between VPNC and BGW devices
* Allocation of additional bandwidth to BGW devices based on traffic patterns
* Updating transmission bandwidth contracts by adjusting upper bandwidth limits
* Revocation of additional bandwidth allocation by VPNC after a timer expires

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in various networking environments where dynamic allocation of bandwidth to different devices is required, such as in enterprise networks, data centers, or cloud computing infrastructures.

== Problems Solved ==
1. Efficient utilization of network resources by dynamically allocating bandwidth based on traffic patterns.
2. Simplifying the management of bandwidth allocation across multiple devices in a network.

== Benefits ==
1. Improved network performance by optimizing bandwidth allocation in real-time.
2. Enhanced scalability and flexibility in managing network resources.
3. Cost-effective utilization of bandwidth by allocating resources where they are needed most.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Optimizing network performance in large-scale enterprise networks
Enhancing cloud computing infrastructure efficiency through dynamic bandwidth allocation
Improving data center management by efficiently allocating resources based on demand

== Possible Prior Art ==
Prior art may include existing systems or methods for dynamic bandwidth allocation in network environments, such as Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms or traffic shaping techniques.

=== What is the impact of this technology on network performance? ===
This technology can significantly improve network performance by dynamically allocating bandwidth to devices based on demand, ensuring efficient resource utilization and optimal data transmission speeds.

=== How does this technology compare to traditional static bandwidth allocation methods? ===
Unlike traditional static bandwidth allocation methods, this technology offers flexibility and scalability by adjusting bandwidth allocation in real-time based on traffic patterns and demand, leading to improved network efficiency and performance.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

One aspect can provide a system and method for configuring a plurality of branch gateway (BGW) devices coupled to a virtual private network concentrator (VPNC). The VPNC negotiates with a respective BGW device a transmission-bandwidth contract; receives, from the BGW device, a request for additional transmission bandwidth; analyzes traffic patterns to identify one or more BGW devices with unused bandwidth; allocates the requested additional transmission bandwidth to the respective BGW device by reducing transmission bandwidth allocated to the identified one or more BGW devices; and transmits contract-update notifications to the BGW devices to allow each BGW device to update a corresponding transmission-bandwidth contract, which comprises increasing the upper bandwidth limit at the respective BGW device while reducing the upper bandwidth limit at the identified BGW devices. In response to expiration of a timer, the VPNC revokes the additional transmission bandwidth allocated to the respective branch gateway device.
