PROVIDING PREDICTABLE QUALITY OF SERVICE TRAFFIC STEERING

Abstract:

A first network device of a network receives first traffic and second traffic, and assigns a first priority to the first traffic and a second priority to the second traffic. The first network device provides, to a second network device, a first message requesting whether the second network device can process the first traffic, and receives, from the second network device, a first response with a first value indicating that the second network device can process the first traffic. The first network device establishes, with the second network device, a path that includes a first security association and a second security association. The first network device provides, to the second network device, the first traffic with the first priority, via the first security association of the path, and the second traffic with the second priority, via the second security association of the path.
