Patent ID: 8917625

Claim:
A system to map a traffic flow communicated over a wireless network to a service flow communicated over a wired network, comprising: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and, based on instructions stored in the memory, configured to: receive a packet of the traffic flow over the wireless network; determine a first set of parameters that identify the traffic flow, wherein the first set of parameters includes at least one of a Service Set Identification (SSID), an access point identification, a WiFi category, and a Traffic Specification (Tspec) parameter; determine a second parameter that identifies the service flow communicated over the wired network based on the first set of parameters that identify the traffic flow communicated over the wireless network, wherein the second parameter is a Virtual Local Area Network Identification (VID); insert the second parameter in a field of the packet; and transmit the packet over the wired network, wherein the wired network is a Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) network.
