Claim:
1. A method implemented by one or more computing devices, comprising: receiving, by one of the one or more computing devices and from a plurality of network devices, packet monitoring data for subscriber application traffic; calculating, by one of the one or more computing devices and based on the packet monitoring data, timing latencies for a particular subscriber flow; obtaining, by one of the one or more computing devices, Quality of Service (QoS) timing specifications for the particular subscriber flow; determining, by one of the one or more computing devices, that there is congestion within the particular subscriber flow based on the timing latencies for the particular subscriber flow and the QoS timing specifications; identifying, by one of the one or more computing devices and when the congestion is detected, at least one of the plurality of network devices that is a source of the congestion; and signaling, by one of the one or more computing devices and to the at least one of the plurality of network devices, an indication to modify QoS parameters for the particular subscriber flow.
