Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods are provided herein for providing a system to reconfigure a user's access network to provide varying quality of service (QOS) based on flow identification. For example, a policy server (PS) may transmit a plurality of addresses of virtual private network (VPN) servers associated with a priority status to a cable modem (CM) and/or cable modem termination system (CMTS) associated with a client device. The CMTS may notify the PS when the CM and/or CMTS detects VPN traffic between the client device and a VPN server associated with the priority status. In response to the notification, the PS may transmit an update message to the CMTS, wherein the update message comprises an updated configuration. The updated configuration may be used to update the CM and/or CMTS so that the updated CM and/or CMTS process future data packets according to an updated QoS policy.
