Method and apparatus for dynamically adjusting traffic QOS in accordance with on-demand request

摘要

A method and apparatus for dynamically adjusting traffic quality of service (“QoS”) on-demand over a communications network are disclosed. The process, in one embodiment, is configured to receive an enhanced QoS request from a user via a first node over a communications network. Upon prioritizing traffic flow in accordance with the enhanced QoS request, the enhanced QoS request associated with the first node is recorded. Upon acknowledging the enhanced traffic QoS, the process routes the information to the first node in accordance to a predefined enhanced QoS.

1. A method for adjusting quality of service (“QoS”), comprising:
receiving an enhanced QoS request from a user's device via a first node over a communications network; identifying requested prioritized QoS and duration associated with the requested prioritized QoS in accordance with the enhanced QoS request; determining availability of priority channels listed in a priority chart in a local storage relating to the prioritized QoS and the duration in accordance with the enhanced QoS request; prioritizing traffic flow associated to the enhanced QoS request to the prioritized QoS when at least one priority channel is available according to the priority chart; establishing a priority channel between the user's device and a content provider via the first node; and routing traffic flow associated to the enhanced QoS request via the priority channel in accordance to the prioritized QoS.
