ABSTRACT:
A method of controlling a number of sessions established on a communication network is provided. In the method, at least a first data packet transmitted on the communication network is input, and a new session corresponding to the at least the first data packet is determined. The new session is requested by at least a first user who has an account authorizing the establishment of sessions on the communication network. Also, the method determines if a creation of the new session would exceed a permitted usage of the communication network, and the permitted usage corresponds to the account. If the creation of the new session would exceed the permitted usage, the creation of the new session is prevented. On the other hand, if the creation of the new session would not exceed the permitted usage, the creation of the new session is allowed. Also, a system that performs the method and a software program that instructs the system to perform the method are also provided.
