Abstract
A method is provided for predicting and/or setting a lease time for packet-switched data communication network resources based on historical usage data of a network system provider subscriber. The packet-switched data communication network resources may include, but are not limited to, IP addresses and bandwidth. As a result, network resources may be allocated more prudently and network traffic may be reduced.
