Method and apparatus for determining scheduling policy

Abstract

The disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for determining a scheduling policy. Wherein this method includes determining a Quality of Service (QoS) identifier corresponding to an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) cell, encapsulating the QoS identifier into a pseudo-wire message, and determining the scheduling policy corresponding to the pseudo-wire message according to the QoS identifier. Through the disclosure, when the ATM cell enters a Packet Transmit Network (PTN), the QoS identifier corresponding to the ATM cell is determined, and then the QoS identifier is encapsulated into the pseudo-wire message, and then the scheduling policy corresponding to the pseudo-wire message is determined according to the QoS identifier, which solves the problem that in the related art different ATM services implementing a differentiated service in a PTN network is not presented, improves flexibility of priority configuration of the ATM service, makes an operating company to be able to perform more flexible service configuration by using a PTN device, still further meets differentiated service requirements of clients of different priorities.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
