Method and system for intermediate node quality of service negotiations

摘要

Disclosed are a method and system for an intermediate node, which negotiates a Quality of Service (QoS) contract with two or more secondary nodes, to maintain a record of previous contract agreements to use as the basis for future contracts and to select the negotiation order with the secondary nodes based on a configurable rule set. The intermediate node selects the secondary node which is deemed to be (predicted as) most restrictive to begin QoS negotiations. The intermediate node dynamically creates for a specific user a new QoS profile to begin the QoS negotiations based on current system loading and historical QoS precedents.

1. A system comprising:
a plurality of secondary nodes; and an intermediate node in communication with a plurality of secondary nodes, the intermediate node being configured to maintain a record of previous quality of service (QoS) contract agreements with each secondary node of the plurality of secondary nodes and to select a negotiation order with the plurality of secondary nodes based on a prediction of which secondary node of the plurality of secondary nodes is most restrictive for a QoS negotiation.
