  • initiating, by a processing system comprising a processor, a data path through a data network between a routing gateway and service provider equipment to provide a data service to a customer premises network during a data session;

    defining, by the processing system, a data flow characteristic for the data path between the routing gateway and the service provider equipment according to a request received from the service provider equipment, wherein the data flow characteristic comprises an available bandwidth for the data path during the data session and a prioritization of a plurality of data services provided by the service provider equipment during the data session;

    creating, by the processing system, a policy for managing the data flow characteristic for the data path between the routing gateway and the service provider equipment according to the available bandwidth for the data path during the data session and the prioritization from the service provider equipment at the data network responsive to receiving the request from the service provider, wherein the policy includes a first data rate for a first data service and a second data rate for a second data service; and

    transmitting, by the processing system, the data flow characteristic to a router along the data path between the routing gateway and the service provider equipment for enforcement of the data flow characteristic for the data path at the router, wherein the data flow characteristic includes information associated with the policy for managing the data flow characteristic, and wherein the router enforces the data flow characteristic to provide the first data rate for a first interval and the second data rate for a second interval.
