TLDR
In this article, a traffic control device for a Quality of Service-aware packet-based network comprises detection means (52) for detecting packet flows in a packet stream (46) by preferably repeatedly performing a data packet inspection on the packet stream and sending means (58) for sending the assignment information to a resource control device (44) for causing the resource controller device to allocate the assigned resource.
Abstract
A traffic control device (50) for a Quality of Service-aware packet-based network (10) comprises detection means (52) for detecting packet flows in a packet stream (46) by preferably repeatedly performing a data packet inspection on the packet stream (46), the data packet inspection being neither based on signaling information nor on application awareness, determining means (54) for determining a flow parameter, in particular a flow rate, of at least one of the detected packet flows, assignment means (56) for generating assignment information assigning a resource of the packet-based network (10) to the at least one detected packet flow in dependence of the detected flow parameter, and sending means (58) for sending the assignment information to a resource control device (44) for causing the resource control device (44) to allocate the assigned resource. In such a way, reliable and cost-efficient quality of service management in a packet-based network (10) is facilitated.

Methods and apparatus for managing a flow of packets using change and reply signals

TL;DR: In this paper, techniques for controlling a flow of packets in a data communications device are described. But the first technique involves transferring packets of a particular packet flow based on an initial policy scheme, and planning a scheme change to change the initial policy to a new policy scheme based on conditions within the data communications devices existing while transferring the packets of the particular flow based in the initial scheme.

Method for the mapping of packet flows to bearers in a communication system

TL;DR: In this article, a method for the mapping of packet flows onto bearers in a communication system was proposed, where a first network node obtains from the second network node one or two packet classifiers for each of the packet flows.
