Abstract
Purpose: This study proposes an adaptive bandwidth management system which
can be explicitly used by educational institutions. The primary goal of the
system is to increase the bandwidth of the users who access more on educational
websites. Through this proposed bandwidth management, the users of the campus
networks is encouraged to utilize the internet for educational purposes.
Method: The weblog from a university's pfSense proxy server was utilized and
undergo Web Usage Mining (WUM) to determine the number of educational and
non-educational websites accessed by the users. Certain formulas were used in
the computation of the bandwidth which was dynamically assigned to the users. A
prototyping technique was applied in developing adaptive bandwidth management
system. The prototype was simulated and evaluated by experts in compliance with
ISO/IEC 14598-6 and ISO/IEC 9126-1 standards.
Results: This study found that the prototype is capable of adjusting the
bandwidth of the network users dynamically. The users who browsed more on
educational websites or contents were assigned with higher bandwidth compared
to those who are not. Further, the evaluated prototype met the software
standards of ISO.
Conclusion: The proposed adaptive bandwidth management can contribute to the
continuous development in the area of computer networking, especially in
designing and managing campus networks. It also helps the network
administrators or IT managers in allocating bandwidth with minimal effort.
