Methods and systems for application performance profiles, link capacity measurement, traffic quarantine and performance controls
A method includes issuing a tuned request on a specified active link having an ingress shaper and an egress shaper to a server utilizing a link capacity to an extent in both a forward path and a return path, determining a link capacity for the active link, monitoring the active link and dropping any traffic traveling via the active link when a limit of at least one of the ingress shaper and the egress shaper is exceeded.
1. A method comprising:
receiving a plurality of business priority classes;
by a network device, a network type associated with each of a plurality of application data flows in a network wherein the network data flow types are selected form the group consisting of real-time, bulk and transactional;
creating a plurality of strict priority queues, fair queues and anomaly queues for each of the plurality of business priority classes; and
assigning real-time network data flows to real-time queues, transactional flows to fair queues and bulk flows to bulk fair queues.
2. The method of claim 1 further employing a multi-tenant controller based mapping of a user or device identity to a network level identity.
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising performing application analysis on a per session basis.
4. The method of claim 1 further comprising routing data flows based, at least in part, on a dynamic and automated QoS definition.
5. The method of claim 4 further comprising employing performing on the data flows modeling and analytics on the data flows selected from the group consisting of Pareto and Weibull.
6. The method of claim 1 further comprising employing QoS standardized controls selected from the group consisting of shaping, policing, random early discard, tail drop, low latency queues, fair queues, anomaly queues and buffers.
