1. An intelligent switch for routing data through a network fabric in accordance with a requested quality of service (QoS), comprising:
- a processor;
a network interface coupled to the processor and the network fabric;
means for predicting load and redistributing traffic to deliver the data at the requested QoS; and
wherein the network fabric comprises one or more POPs and a gateway hub, wherein each POP send its current load status and QOS configuration to the gateway hub where predictive analysis is performed to handle load balancing of data streams to deliver consistent QoS for the entire network on the fly.

3. An intelligent switch for routing data through a network fabric in accordance with a requested quality of service (QoS), comprising:
-
a processor;
a network interface coupled to the processor and the network fabric; and
means for predicting load and redistributing traffic to deliver the data at the requested QoS wherein the predicting means periodically takes snapshots of traffic and processor usage and correlates the traffic and usage data with previously archived data for usage patterns that are used to predict the configuration of the network to provide optimum QoS.

16. A system, comprising:
-
a network fabric;
an intelligent switch for routing data through a network fabric in accordance with a requested quality of service (QoS), comprising;
a processor;
a network interface coupled to the processor and the network fabric; and
means for predicting load and redistributing traffic to deliver the data at the requested QoS;
one or more clients coupled to the intelligent switch, wherein the network fabric comprises one or more POPs and gateway hub, wherein each POP send its current load status and QOS configuration to the gateway hub where predictive analysis is performed to handle load balancing of data streams to deliver consistent QoS for the entire network on the fly. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
