User bandwidth monitor and control management system and method

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In one preferred form, the present invention forms a multi-communication method for equitably distributing access to a shared broadband signal having a defined bandwidth.
The method uses a server system that includes at least one server and a plurality of client systems connected to the server.
A respective user utilizes each client system.
The method includes controlling user access to the shared broadband signal, monitoring an amount of signal bandwidth used by each user, and controlling an amount of signal bandwidth available to each user based on a total usage of the bandwidth.
In another embodiment, a system is provided for equitably distributing access to a shared broadband signal having a defined bandwidth.
The system comprises at least one server and a plurality of client systems connected to the server.
Each client system is utilized by a respective user.
The system controls user access to the shared broadband signal, monitors the amount of signal bandwidth used by each user, and controls the amount of signal bandwidth available to each user based on a total usage of the bandwidth.
In yet another embodiment, a multi-communication method is provided for equitably distributing access to a shared broadband signal having a defined bandwidth.
The method uses a server system including at least one server and a plurality of client systems connected to the server, wherein a respective user utilizes each client system.
The method includes monitoring the amount of bandwidth each user is accessing, and identifying at least one excessive bandwidth user that is accessing an amount of bandwidth that exceeds a maximum use threshold.
The method further includes determining a particular server system activity, which is causing the excessive bandwidth user to exceed the maximum use threshold.
Additionally, the method includes controlling the particular server system activity of the excessive user such that an input/output (I/O) bandwidth differential is self-balancing.
