Enhanced dynamic service gateway (EDSG) independently identifies a channel of user traffic and implements independent rate limit, accounting, and management for the traffic.
In the early broadband development, most carriers use the extensive operation mode to increase the number of users. In this mode, carriers continuously expand networks and publicize high bandwidth to attract users. With the development of broadband network operation environments, the traditional operation mode creates the following challenges:
How to increase the input-output ratio?
How to ensure a local carrier's revenues?
How to meet customers' refined operation requirements?
How to meet different customers' requirements?
How to resolve benefit allocation issues when traffic is transmitted through networks of different network service providers (NSPs)?
To address these challenges, EDSG is introduced. EDSG is characterized by flexible service extension and dynamic deployment and applies when large numbers of users use various service combinations.
Carriers can provide a combination of EDSG services or a self-service page for users to select services on demand, improving user experience and increasing revenues. A self-service page may also be provided by service providers that cooperate with carriers.
