Systems and methods for calendar-based QoS management of a network

A system for automatically tuning network quality-of-service (QoS) parameters, the system comprising:

• control circuitry configured to:
• extract first calendar data from a first digital calendar;
• determine, based at least in part on the first calendar data:
• (a) that a first event utilizes a first application for a time period, and
• (b) a first priority level of network service to support performance of the first application during the time period, wherein the first priority level corresponds to a first data structure comprising a first plurality of QoS factors associated with the first application;
• extract second calendar data from a second digital calendar;
• determine, based at least in part on the second calendar data:
• (a) that a second event utilizes a second application for at least a portion of the time period, and
• (b) a second priority level of network service to support performance of the second application during the portion of the time period, wherein the second priority level corresponds to a second data structure comprising a second plurality of QoS factors associated with the second application;
• based on determining that a combination of the first priority level and the second priority level exceeds a threshold network capacity:
• determine, based at least in part on the first application, a respective minimum quality level for each QoS factor of the first plurality of QoS factors;
• modify the first data structure by modifying, based at least in part on the determined respective minimum quality level for each QoS factor of the first plurality of QoS factors, one or more QoS factors of the first plurality of QoS factors of the first data structure, wherein the modified first data structure corresponds to a lower first priority level of network service to support a lower performance of the first application such that the combination of the lower first priority level and the second priority level does not exceed the threshold network capacity;
• transmit, to a router, a reconfiguration request, wherein the reconfiguration request causes the router to:
• adjust from a first network QoS parameter setting to a second network QoS parameter setting according to the combination of the lower first priority level and the second priority level;
• provide a network resource according to the second network QoS parameter setting to the first application to meet the lower first priority level and to the second application to meet the second priority level;
• maintain provisioning of the network resource according to the second network QoS parameter setting to the first application and the second application during the portion of the time period;
• and
• based at least in part on determining that the portion of the time period has ended, instruct the router to release the network resource, wherein the release of the network resource returns the router to the first network QoS parameter setting from prior to the reconfiguration request.
