1. A method for quality-of-service (QoS) setup in a network segment of a network that includes a source device for transmitting a data traffic stream, a sink device for receiving the traffic stream from the source device through an intermediate device of the network segment, and a QoS parameter holder (QPH), the method comprising:

  • detecting at the intermediate device a traffic stream identifier from the traffic stream;

    querying the QPH for QoS parameters associated with the detected traffic stream identifier;

    sending QoS parameters from the QPH;

    receiving at the intermediate device QoS parameters from the QPH; and

    configuring the network segment with the QoS parameters received at the intermediate device.
