1. An IP flow classification system that groups IP flows in a packet-centric wireless point to multi-point telecommunications system, said classification system comprising:

  • a wireless base station coupled to a first data network;

    one or more host workstations coupled to said first data network;

    one or more subscriber customer premise equipment (CPE) stations in wireless communication with said wireless base station over a shared bandwidth using a packet-centric protocol; and

    one or more subscriber workstations coupled to each of said subscriber CPE stations over a second network;

    resource allocation means optimizing end-user quality of service (QoS) and allocating shared bandwidth among said subscriber CPE stations; and

    means for analyzing and scheduling an internet protocol (IP) flow over said shared wireless bandwidth, wherein said analyzing means comprises;

    a classifier that classifies said IP flow.
