Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for dynamically modifying quality of service levels for a resource running in a networked computing environment, comprising: determining a data packet, from a plurality of data packets, that requires insertion of a unique identifier into a transport layer of the networked computing environment, the unique identifier associating the data packet with the resource; adding the unique identifier into the transport layer for the determined data packet; checking a database to determine a level of priority for the data packet has been set; identifying, in a computer data structure, a set of service level requirements associated with the resource; mapping the set of service level requirements to a set of quality of service parameters associated with the transport layer; determining a current performance of the resource within the transport layer; determining whether the current performance meets the set of service level requirements; updating, responsive to a change in the service level requirements, the mapping of the set of service level requirements to the set of quality of service parameters; and adjusting, responsive to the set of service level requirements not being met, the set of quality of service parameters, the adjusting comprising raising the level of priority for the data packet.
