IDENTIFICATION OF DATA FLOWS BASED ON ACTIONS OF QUALITY OF SERVICE POLICIES

摘要

In one embodiment, a method comprises determining a Quality of Service (QoS) policier action for data packets belonging to a first flow of data packets received at an ingress interface of a network switching device, the QoS policier action based on one of multiple prescribed QoS classifications by a QoS policier that aggregates distinct flows of data packets into a single aggregated flow according to prescribed QoS thresholds; and assigning to the first flow of data packets a unique identifier that associates the QoS policier action to identification of the first flow of data packets, enabling identification of the distinct flows of data packets within each of the prescribed QoS classifications.
