Abstract:
1. A method comprising, by one or more computing systems: storing in a quality-of-service (QoS)-enabled communication system a data structure that has a multi-level hierarchy comprising: receiving a first request for M number of services provided by the QoS-enabled communication system; in response to the first request, modifying an allocation of the logical-level nodes by mapping M class-level nodes to a first one of the logical-level nodes according to a first mapping mode of the data structure; receiving a second request for P services provided by the QoS-enabled communication system, P being greater than M; and in response to the second request, modifying an allocation of the logical-level nodes by mapping P class-level nodes to a second one of the logical-level nodes according to a second mapping mode of the data structure.
