1. A method of integrating a network with policies representing quality of service treatments of network data flows for network devices, comprising the steps of:

  • receiving device QoS information that defines one of more quality of service treatments that the network device may apply to data processed by the network device;

    based on the device QoS information and application information relating to an application that requires one or more of the quality of service treatments, determining one or more processing policies that associate the traffic flows with the quality of service treatments;

    creating and storing one or more mappings of the application information to the quality of service treatments that may be used to generate the quality of service value when the application program generates traffic flows.
