摘要

abstract method for controlling quality of service (“qos”) in a virtual private network (“vpn”) in a transport network providing a plurality of qos transmitters these are systems and methods for controlling quality of service (“qos”) ”) In a virtual private network (“ vpn ”) in a transport network (303) that provides a plurality of qos transmitters (3301 to 330n). The methods involve: establishing (601 to 615) between two vpn endpoints (319, 341) a plurality of vpn tunnels (3320 to 332i) through the transport network including at least one standard vpn tunnel ( 3320) associated with a first qos transmitter (3301) and an alternative vpn tunnel (3321 to 332i) associated with a second qos transmitter (3302); receive (701, 801) and parse a block of data; apply a vpn policy (327, 329) to assign the data block to both the standard vpn tunnel and the alternate vpn tunnel; and encapsulating the data block into a transport data block (200) including at least one indicator. The indicator specifies whether the transport data block is to be communicated by the transport network using the first qos transmitter or the second qos transmitter. 1/1
