Some implementations of the disclosure are directed to a method, comprising: receiving a plurality of traffic flows transmitted by a plurality of user devices; determining, at a modem, a user device of the user devices that is associated with each of the traffic flows; classifying, at the modem, each of the traffic flows according to a class of service associated with a traffic class; and allocating, at the modem, bandwidth to each of the traffic flows based on the traffic flow's class of service and the user device associated with the traffic flow. A total available bandwidth may be allocated to the traffic flows as a function of traffic classes associated with the traffic flows, the classes of services associated with the traffic flows, and the user devices that transmitted the traffic flows.
