Abstract:

An approach is provided for providing quality of service reservations in a packet-based radio communication network is disclosed. Connection information including connection rate is extracted from a dataflow from an application requesting connection-oriented service. A request message is sent to a proxy for establishing a connection based on the connection information over the network, wherein the proxy configures a classification rule based on flow criteria from the request message and accordingly initiates establishment of the connection over the network to a destination terminal. A confirmation that the connection can be established is selectively received according to the connection information, wherein the dataflow satisfying the flow criteria from the application is transported over the established connection to the destination terminal. This approach as particular applicability to shared capacity systems, such as a satellite communication system.

Abstract:

A system and method for managing COTS devices based on device auto-detection and identification is provided. A network device on a managed network is identified, wherein the network device is identified as a one of a list of one or more network device types supported by the managed network and included in one or more configuration files, and wherein the one or more configuration files further include a list of one or more respective SNMP variables to be monitored for each of the network device types. The respective listing of SNMP variables to be monitored and/or configured is extracted from the one or more configuration files for the identified network device type. A request is then generated to monitor and/or configure the extracted SNMP variables to be monitored for the network device.
