Abstract
Managing Quality of Service (QoS) policies using real-time traffic analysis, cross-layer feedback, an adaptive policy engine, and security measures may be provided. Managing QoS policies can comprise receiving network data comprising one or more Physical (PHY) layer metrics and one or more Media Access Control (MAC) layer metrics, and determining one or more network conditions based on the network data. An application type of an application is determined by evaluating a packet associated with the application. Then, a QoS mark is set for traffic of the application based on the network conditions and the application type.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving network data comprising one or more Physical (PHY) layer metrics and one or more Media Access Control (MAC) layer metrics;
- determining one or more network conditions based on the network data;
- identifying an application type of an application by evaluating a packet associated with the application;
- and
- setting a Quality of Service (QoS) mark for traffic of the application based on the one or more network conditions and the application type.
A system comprising:
- a memory storage;
- and
- a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit is operative to:
- receive network data comprising one or more Physical (PHY) layer metrics and one or more Media Access Control (MAC) layer metrics;
- determine one or more network conditions based on the network data;
- identify an application type of an application by evaluating a packet associated with the application;
- and
- set a Quality of Service (QoS) mark for traffic of the application based on the one or more network conditions and the application type.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a set of instructions which when executed perform a method executed by the set of instructions comprising:
- receiving network data comprising one or more Physical (PHY) layer metrics and one or more Media Access Control (MAC) layer metrics;
- determining one or more network conditions based on the network data;
- identifying an application type of an application by evaluating a packet associated with the application;
- and
- setting a Quality of Service (QoS) mark for traffic of the application based on the one or more network conditions and the application type.
