<p>A host object (102) representing a user, a service object (106a, 106b, 106c) representing a service, and a connection object (108a, 108b, 108c) linking the two may be utilized in order to provide Quality of Service (QoS). The host object (102) and/or connection object (108a, 108b, 108c) may contain a provisioning scheme defining a limit on traffic, which can be provided through either a local or remote programming mechanism. When traffic flows through the host object (102) and/or connection object (108a, 108b, 108c), the appropriate provisioning scheme is utilized to determine which packets to discard.</p> |
