9. A system for provisioning Quality of Service (QoS) of a plurality of sites of a Virtual Private Network (VPN), comprising:
a graphical user interface, comprising;
a display area graphically displaying at least one VPN component of said VPN;
a customer area displaying said plurality of sites, at least one of said plurality of sites operable to be dragged from said customer area to said display area, wherein dropping of said at least one site on a graphical representation of said at least one VPN component causes said at least one site to be displayed in said display area and to become a member of said VPN component; and
means for graphically defining at least one QoS rule for at least one pair of sites of said plurality of sites of said VPN based at least in part on a membership of said pair of sites. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 15)

14. A method for provisioning Quality of Service (QoS) of a plurality of sites of a Virtual Private Network (VPN), comprising:
-
graphically displaying at least one VPN component of said VPN;
enabling dragging of a representation of at least one site of said plurality of sites towards said at least one VPN component;
enabling dropping of said representation of said at least one site on said representation of said at least one VPN component thereby causing said site to become a member of said VPN component; and
enabling graphically defining of at least one QoS rule for at least one pair of sites of said plurality of sites of said VPN based at least in part on a membership of said pair of sites.
