1. A network component for classifying at least one traffic flow for efficient quality of service realization in a network, the network component comprising:

  • a detecting unit for detecting at least one traffic flow from at least one packet;

    an obtaining unit, upon detection of the at least one traffic flow, for obtaining predefined information from the at least one packet to determine a quality of service requirement that is associated with the at least one packet; and

    a creating unit for creating at least one other traffic flow by multiplexing a plurality of packets with the same quality of service requirement into the other traffic flow or demultiplexing the plurality of packets with different quality of service requirements into other traffic flows, each of the other traffic flows having a different quality of service requirement.
