Abstract:

Aspects of the disclosure provide for a computer program product comprising computer executable instructions. The instructions are executable by a controller of a network device to cause the controller to analyze data transmitted by the network device via a network for a programmed amount of time, determine a data transmission pattern based on the analysis, determine, based on the transmission pattern, a volume of expected data transmission during a period of time, and determine whether to transmit additional data based on a relationship between the volume of expected data transmission during the period of time and a bandwidth allocation of the network device during the period of time.
