Service policies for communication sessions

摘要

Techniques for service policies for communication sessions are described. According to various embodiments, a service policy specifies various rules and/or procedures for handling communication sessions. For instance, a service policy can specify service priority designations to be applied to communication sessions based on various attributes of the communication sessions. Techniques discussed herein provide for automated and dynamic management of service policies in a variety of communication scenarios, e.g., via per-session customization of service policies. In at least some embodiments, techniques may be employed to remedy problems that may occur during a communication session, such as via bandwidth reallocation, dynamic remapping of routing paths, and so forth.

1. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and one or more memories including instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the at least one processor, cause the system perform operations including:
generating an initialization service policy for initiation of communication sessions within a communication network, and propagating the initialization service policy to one or more components of the communication network, the initialization service policy specifying that a media flow of a communication session is to be tagged with a first service priority designator;receiving a notification that a communication session is initiated in the communication network; andgenerating in response to the notification an updated service policy for the communication session and propagating the updated service policy to the one or more components to be applied to the communication session in place of the initialization service policy, the updated service policy being implemented as data including a session identifier for the communication session, being propagated separate from a media flow of the communication session, and specifying that a media flow of the communication session is to be retagged with a second service priority designator.
