Patent attributes
A method for obtaining a convergence ratio. Uplink ports of an access/convergence device in the access network are classified into different trunks according to their types. The method includes: determining whether the network is a narrowband access network, and if so, obtaining the service convergence ratio of a trunk according to the number of available slots provided by the trunk for instant services and the number of instant service subscribers supported by the trunk, and if not, determining whether the trunk includes a sub-trunk, and if it does not include a sub-trunk, obtaining the bandwidth convergence ratio of the trunk according to the trunk bandwidth of the trunk and the service bandwidth; if so, obtaining the bandwidth convergence ratio of the trunk according to the trunk bandwidth of the trunk, the service bandwidth and the sub-trunk service bandwidth.
