Abstract

Se describen métodos y aparatos para mediciones de múltiples usos. Un método de ejemplo incluye adquirir una transferencia de régimen de datos hacia/desde la ubicación monitoreada y comparar el régimen de transferencia de datos adquirido hacia el umbral. El método de ejemplo también incluye establecer por lo menos un dispositivo de monitoreo de medios en un primer modo de anchura da banda cuando el régimen de transferencia de datos adquirido excede el umbral y establece por lo menos un dispositivo de monitoreo de medios en un segundo modo de anchura de banda cuando el régimen de transferencia de datos adquirido está por debajo del umbral.
