The disclosed method and apparatus provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing a PQoS flow between two or more nodes located in different network segments of a multi-segment network, when some nodes involved in the flow lack support for high layer QoS management protocols. Specifically, some embodiments are directed toward implementing a PQoS flow involving some nodes that lack network layers higher than a Data Link Layer (layer 2). For example, some embodiments of the current disclosed method and apparatus can create a parameterized QoS flow between a source node and a destination node when at least one of the nodes participating in the flow (i.e. the source node, one or multiple bridge nodes that the QoS flow passes, and the destination node) lacks UPnP QoS Device Services (i.e., a higher layer QoS management protocol). |
