Method and system for quality of service renegotiation
First Claim
1. A method of providing a QoS level in a network, comprising:
- examining communications flowing between a first network endpoint and a second network endpoint;
determining, based on the communications, an application being used by the first and second network endpoints for the communications;
determining a QoS level that is suitable for the application; and
, requesting resources associated with the network that will provide the suitable QoS level for the communication.

Abstract
A method of renegotiating QoS levels of a communication link in one or more networks, the communication link having an initial QoS level prior to renegotiation, includes examining information flowing on the communication link between a first network endpoint and a second network endpoint. The method also includes determining, based on the information, a type of application being used by the first and second network endpoints for the communication link. The method further includes determining a QoS level that is suitable for the application, and negotiating with at least one of the one or more networks to procure resources associated with the network that will provide the suitable QoS level.

14. A system for negotiating QoS levels of a communication link in one or more networks, the communication link having an initial QoS level prior to the negotiation, comprising:
-
a traffic analyzer for examining information flowing on the communication link between a first network endpoint and a second network endpoint, and determining, based on the information, a type of application being used by the first and second network endpoints for the communication link determining a QoS level that is suitable for the application; and
,a network negotiating component for negotiating with at least one of the one or more networks to procure resources associated with the network that will provide the suitable QoS level. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
