Internet of things end-to-end service layer quality of service management
Methods, system, and apparatuses may support end-to-end (E2E) quality of service (QoS) through the use of service layer (SL) sessions. For example, an application can communicate with a targeted device based on application specified schedule, latency, jitter, error rate, throughput, level of security, and cost requirements.
1. A first apparatus implementing a connection manager service comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
receiving, from a first application, a RESTful request to create a connection manager service resource to configure end-to-end quality of service requirements for one or more underlying networks connecting a second application on a second apparatus to a third application on a third apparatus, wherein the end-to-end quality of service requirements comprise at least one of a minimum reachability schedule of when the second application requires the third application to be available to receive requests from the second application and a maximum throughput defining a bit rate at which the second application can send or receive requests to or from the third application, wherein the connection manager service resource is created via a RESTful API of the connection manager service;
based on the RESTful request, determining the end-to-end quality of service requirements for the one or more underlying networks connecting the second application and the third application;
configuring the one or more underlying networks with quality-of-service settings for the one or more underlying networks connecting the second application and the third application;
determining whether the configuration of the one or more underlying networks connecting the second application and the third application meet the end-to-end quality of service requirements of the second application have been met; and
sending a response to the first application, wherein the response comprises a status code indicating that the connection manager service resource has been successfully created.
2. The first apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the RESTful request comprises application endpoint addresses for the first application and the second application.
3. The first apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the end-to-end quality of service requirements comprises a jitter threshold for requests which the second application sends or receives to or from the third application.
4. The first apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the end-to-end quality of service requirements comprise a minimum latency threshold for requests which the second application sends or receives to or from the third application.
5. The first apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the end-to-end quality of service requirements comprise a minimum error rate threshold for requests which the second application sends or receives to or from the third application.
6. The first apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the end-to-end quality of service requirements comprise a minimum security level threshold for requests which the second application sends or receives to or from the third application.
7. A method for controlling a connection manager service, the method comprising:
receiving, from a first application, a RESTful request to create a connection manager service resource to configure end-to-end quality of service requirements for one or more underlying networks connecting a second application on a second apparatus to a third application on a third apparatus, wherein the end-to-end quality of service requirements comprise at least one of a minimum reachability schedule of when the second application requires the third application to be available to receive requests from the second application and a maximum throughput defining a bit rate at which the second application can send or receive requests to or from the third application, wherein the connection manager service resource is created via a RESTful API of the connection manager service;
based on the RESTful request, determining the end-to-end quality of service requirements for the one or more underlying networks connecting the second application and the third application;
configuring the one or more underlying networks with quality-of-service settings for the one or more underlying networks connecting the second application and the third application;
determining whether the configuration of the one or more underlying networks connecting the second application and the third application meet the end-to-end quality of service requirements of the second application have been met; and
sending a response to the first application, wherein the response comprises a status code indicating that the connection manager service resource has been successfully created.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the RESTful request comprises application endpoint addresses for the first application and the second application.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the end-to-end quality of service requirements comprises a jitter threshold for requests which the second application sends or receives to or from the third application.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the end-to-end quality of service requirements comprise a minimum latency threshold for requests which the second application sends or receives to or from the third application.
11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the end-to-end quality of service requirements comprise a minimum error rate threshold for requests which the second application sends or receives to or from the third application.
12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the end-to-end quality of service requirements comprise a minimum security level threshold for requests which the second application sends or receives to or from the third application.
