Abstract
A data communications system includes a controller device and multiple client devices communicating with the controller device through a shared data communications link. The controller device is configured to determine data usage for each of the client devices and then compare the determined data usage for the client devices with a first usage threshold and with a second usage threshold. Based on the threshold comparisons, the usage-based multiplier values are either increased or decreased by a set amount.
