SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED QUALITY OF SERVICE CONFIGURATION THROUGH THE ACCESS NETWORK

摘要

A system comprises a plurality of access nodes configured to provide one or more services to customer equipment; and a plurality of transport elements coupled together to form a network. Each transport element is configured to receive data packets committed to the network by one or more of the other transport elements and to commit data packets to the network, each data packet assigned to one of a plurality of traffic classes. Each respective transport element is further configured to shape a first set of traffic comprising data packets received from another transport element based on the respective traffic class of each data packet and to shape a second set of traffic comprising data packets to be committed to the network by the respective transport element based on the respective traffic class of each data packet, the first set of traffic shaped separately from the second set of traffic. Each respective transport element is further configured to shape the shaped first set of traffic together with the shaped second set of traffic based on respective weights associated with the first set of traffic and the second set of traffic.
