POLICY DRIVEN NETWORK QOS DEPLOYMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031230 titled 'POLICY DRIVEN NETWORK QOS DEPLOYMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for dynamically implementing Quality of Service (QoS) for machines in a network. The method involves identifying a QoS policy rule that defines the QoS policy to be implemented for machines meeting a set of criteria. It then dynamically identifies a set of machines that meet the criteria and configures a set of managed forwarding elements in the network to implement the QoS policy rule for network traffic associated with the set of machines. Additionally, the method monitors network events and enforces corresponding QoS policy rules based on the detected events.

  • The method dynamically implements QoS for machines in a network.
  • It identifies a QoS policy rule based on a set of criteria.
  • It configures network elements to implement the QoS policy rule for specific machines.
  • It monitors network events and enforces corresponding QoS policy rules.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Network management and optimization
  • Traffic prioritization and resource allocation
  • Service level agreements (SLAs) enforcement

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensuring consistent and reliable QoS for machines in a network
  • Efficiently managing network resources based on specific criteria
  • Adapting to changes in network conditions and machine configurations

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved network performance and reliability
  • Enhanced user experience and satisfaction
  • Efficient utilization of network resources


Original Abstract Submitted

some embodiments provide a method for dynamically implementing quality of service (qos) for machines of a network. the method identifies a qos policy rule that defines a qos policy to be implemented for machines that meet a set of criteria specified by the qos policy rule. the method dynamically identifies a set of machines that meet the set of criteria. the method configures a set of managed forwarding elements of the network to implement the qos policy rule for network traffic associated with the set of machines. in some embodiments, the method monitors network events (e.g., user logins, addition of new machines, etc.) and identifies a corresponding qos policy rule to be enforced at corresponding locations in the network based on the detected event.
