Abstract:
A user of a communication network may have specific requirements for its critical data streams. The user may require dedicated channel capacity for its critical application. A dedicated channel may be separate from a common channel carrying non-critical data of the user. The user may create policies for assigning channel capacities to its critical data streams based on various criteria. The user may also create policies on sharing the dedicated channel capacity among its different critical data streams.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer-implemented method for transmitting data from a source to a destination through a plurality of interconnected forwarding devices, comprising:\n (a) receiving, at a forwarding device, on a common channel from the source to the forwarding device, a first packet in a first data stream, wherein the common channel has a common capacity; (b) forwarding, on the common channel, the first packet from the forwarding device to the destination; (c) forwarding, to a policing device, a copy of a portion of the first packet, wherein the portion includes information about the first packet; (d) determining, by the policing device, whether the first data stream is a critical data stream based on the information about the first packet; and (e) when the first data stream is determined to be critical in (c), configuring the forwarding device to forward a second packet of the first data stream on a first channel from the forwarding device to the destination, wherein the first channel has a first capacity, is dedicated to the first data stream, and is different from the common channel.
