PAYMENTS-DRIVEN DYNAMIC FIREWALLS AND METHODS OF PROVIDING PAYMENTS-DRIVEN DYNAMIC ACCESS TO NETWORK SERVICES

摘要

A machine-implemented method of providing dynamic access to network services may include receiving (4300) a request from a client for a type of network service, monitoring (4900) an amount and type of network service being provided to the client, and receiving (4600) incremental payments from the client for the network service being provided as the network service continues to be provided. The method may include dynamically modifying (4200) access to the network service for the client based on a set of rules. The rules may be based on one or more of the monitored amount of network service, the type of network service, and the payments received.
