Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining, from a device of a network, a policy pertaining to communication traffic generated by a processing system, based on the obtaining of the policy, subjecting a first application executed by the processing system to a first data rate limit, wherein the first application distributes video traffic, and based on the obtaining of the policy, subjecting a second application executed by the processing system to a second data rate limit, wherein the second application distributes non-video traffic. Other embodiments are disclosed.
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:
- monitoring first conditions associated with a communication system that includes a core network;
- determining, based on the monitoring of the first conditions, that responsibility for enforcing a portion of a policy is to be allocated to a portion of the communication system that is different from the core network, resulting in a first determination, wherein the portion of the policy pertains to an amount of traffic that is generated in the communication system;
- and
- allocating, based on the first determination, enforcement of the portion of the policy to the portion of the communication system, resulting in a first allocation.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- obtaining, from a device of a network, a policy pertaining to communication traffic generated by the processing system;
- based on the obtaining of the policy, subjecting a first application executed by the processing system to a first data rate limit, wherein the first application distributes video traffic;
- and
- based on the obtaining of the policy, subjecting a second application executed by the processing system to a second data rate limit, wherein the second application distributes non-video traffic.
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a processing system including a processor, that an amount of traffic generated in a communication system exceeds a threshold;
- subjecting, by the processing system and based on the determining, a first application that generates video traffic to a first data rate limit;
- and
- subjecting, by the processing system and based on the determining, a second application that generates non-video traffic to a second data rate limit.
