System for managing flow bandwidth utilization at network, transport and application layers in store and forward network

摘要: In a packet communication environment, method is provided for classifying network flows use in determining policy, or rule of assignment service level, and enforcing that policy by direct rate control. The comprises applying individual instances traffic objects, i.e., to classification model based on selectable information obtained from plurality layers multi-layered protocol, then mapping the flow defined classes, which are arbitrarily assignable an offline manager creates classification. It useful note need not be complete enumeration possible traffic.
