Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer readable instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method, the method comprising: identifying a security indicator in an encrypted network communication; determining whether a match exists between the security indicator and any of known security indicators stored in a Quality of Service (QoS) database; in response to determining that the security indicator identified in the encrypted network communication matches a particular known security indicator, from the known security indicators, determining a particular QoS policy associated with the particular known security indicator; determining a class of service indicator based on the particular QoS policy associated with the particular known security indicator; generating indicator indicating the particular QoS policy; adding the new header to the encrypted network communication; selectively forwarding the encrypted network communication according to the particular QoS policy associated with the particular known security indicator in the QoS database; where the particular QoS policy controls QoS associated with a connection over which the encrypted network communication is forwarded.
