Abstract
Systems and methods for managing network traffic receives, at a grade of service device, network traffic information for a plurality of network traffic channels from a network device separate from the grade of service device. The network traffic information is compared to a threshold to determine a behavior value for each network traffic channel. Each network traffic channel is mapped to a grade of service according to the behavior value.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- determining that network traffic information for a network traffic channel received at a first iteration and a consecutive second iteration is greater than an initial threshold;
- determining a behavior value of a plurality of behavior values for the network traffic channel by comparing the network traffic information received at the second iteration with an additional threshold, wherein the additional threshold is greater than the initial threshold, wherein the initial threshold and the additional threshold respectively correspond to one of the plurality of behavior values;
- and
- associating the network traffic channel with a grade of service according to the behavior value.
A method comprising:
- determining, by a processing system including a processor, that network traffic information for a network traffic channel received at a first iteration and a consecutive second iteration is greater than a first threshold;
- determining, by the processing system, a behavior value of a plurality of behavior values for the network traffic channel by comparing the network traffic information received at the second iteration with a second threshold, wherein the second threshold is greater than the first threshold, wherein the first threshold and the second threshold respectively correspond to one of the plurality of behavior values;
- and
- associating, by the processing system, the network traffic channel with a grade of service according to the behavior value.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising:
- determining that network traffic information for a network traffic channel received at a first iteration and a consecutive second iteration is greater than an initial threshold, wherein the network traffic information is received according to a predefined interval of time, a network event, or a combination thereof;
- determining a behavior value of a plurality of behavior values for the network traffic channel by comparing the network traffic information received at the second iteration with an additional threshold, wherein the additional threshold is greater than the initial threshold, wherein the initial threshold and the additional threshold respectively correspond to one of the plurality of behavior values;
- and
- associating the network traffic channel with a grade of service according to the behavior value.
