Abstract
A method including matching a data transmission characteristic of a first application on a first network device and of a second application on a second network device, requesting a prioritized data transfer between the first and second applications from a policy manager application, determining whether to approve the requested prioritized data transfer based upon a set of policy rules, and transferring data between the first and second application with preferential treatment.
Claims28
A method comprising:
- matching a data transmission characteristic of a first application on a first network device and of a second application on a second network device;
- requesting a prioritized data transfer between the first and second applications from a policy manager application;
- determining whether to approve the requested prioritized data transfer based upon a set of policy rules;
- and
- transferring data between the first and second application with preferential treatment.
A storage medium having stored thereon instructions that when executed by a machine results in the following:
- match a data transmission characteristic of a first application on a first network device and of a second application on a second network device;
- request a prioritized data transfer between the first and second applications from a policy manager application;
- determine whether to approve the requested prioritized data transfer based upon a set of policy rules;
- and
- transfer data between the first and second application with preferential treatment.
A system for transferring data comprising:
- a first network device having a first application and a data item available for transfer to another network device;
- and
- a second network device coupled to communicate with the first network device, the second network device having a second application;
- a policy manager application and a set of policy rules on one of the first and second network devices;
- and
- a third application on one of the first and second network devices,
- wherein the third application determines a matching data transmission characteristic corresponding to at least one of the data item and the first application, and
- wherein the third application requests a prioritized data transfer between the first application and the second application, the request being sent to the policy manager application, and
- wherein the policy manager determines whether to approve the requested prioritized data transfer based upon the set of policy rules.
