Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassG01R 031/08AbstractIn a packet communication environment, a method is provided for classifying packet network flows for use in determining a policy, or rule of assignment of a service level, and enforcing that policy by direct rate control. The method comprises applying individual instances of traffic objects, i.e., packet network flows to a classification model based on selectable information obtained from a plurality of layers of a multi-layered communication protocol, then mapping the flow to the defined traffic classes, which are arbitrarily assignable by an offline manager which creates the classification. It is useful to note that the classification need not be a complete enumeration of the possible traffic.Field of SearchCOMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES FOR INFORMATION CARRIED IN PLURAL CHANNELSAdaptive Converting between protocols Assignment of variable bandwidth or time period for transmission or reception DATA FLOW CONGESTION PREVENTION OR CONTROL Control of data admission to the network End-to-end flow control Measurement of the peak data flow rate Measurement of the average data flow rate Based on data flow rate measurement Including signaling between network elements Message having an address header Carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) DIAGNOSTIC TESTING (OTHER THAN SYNCHRONIZATION) Determination of communication parameters Flow control of data transmission through a network | |
