A method and system ( ) for monitoring or profiling quality of service within one or more information sources in a network of computers. The method includes a step of providing a network of computers, each being coupled to each other to form a local area network. The network of computers has a firewall server ( ) coupled to the network of computers and a distributed traffic management tool coupled to the firewall server. The method also includes implementing traffic monitoring or profiling of incoming and outgoing information from one of the information sources.

Directory enabled policy management tool for intelligent traffic management

A method and system ( ) for monitoring or profiling quality of service within a network of computers. The method includes a step of providing a network of computers, each being coupled to each other to form a local area network. The network of computers has a firewall server ( ) coupled to the network of computers and a traffic management tool coupled to the firewall server. The method also includes implementing traffic monitoring or profiling of incoming and outgoing information.

Traffic monitoring tool for bandwidth management

A novel system for a network of computers to improve quality of services using a combination of a bandwidth mangement tool in a firewall. The present system includes, among other elements, a plurality of computers, which are each coupled to each other to form an internal network of computers (e.g., local area network or LAN). The system also includes a server, which has a memory sufficient to store a firewall program. The server is coupled to at least one of the plurality of computers, where the server is also coupled to an outgoing line to a wide area network of computers, which can be, for example, the Intenet. A bandwidth management tool is coupled to or stored in the server, where the bandwidth management tool is capable of monitoring incoming and outgoing information to and from the server.

Firewall system for quality of service management

A method and system (,) for monitoring or profiling quality of service within a network of computers. The method includes a step of providing a network of computers, each being coupled to each other to form a local area network. The network of computers has a firewall server (,) coupled to the network of computers and a traffic management tool coupled to the firewall server. The method also includes implementing traffic monitoring or profiling of incoming and outgoing information.

Linear rule based method for bandwidth management

A method and system (100) for monitoring quality of service within a network of computers. The method includes a step of providing a network of computers, each being coupled to each other to form a local area network. The network of computers has a firewall server (110) coupled to the network of computers and a traffic management tool coupled to the firewall server. The method also includes implementing traffic control for incoming and outgoing information using one or more rules.

Control tool for bandwidth management

A method for managing quality of service in a firewall server (110), the firewall server (11) coupling a data source to a data receiver, includes the steps of estimating a bit rate over a round-trip-time between the data source and the data receiver, receiving a receive acknowlegment signal from the data receiver, thereafter delaying transmission of a receive acknowlegment signal when the bit rate is greater than a bit rate limit, and transmitting the receive acknowlegment signal to the data source when the bit rate is not greater than the bit

Method and apparatus for quality of service management

A method and system (100) for controlling quality of service within a network of computers. The method includes a step of providing a network of computers, each being coupled to each other to form a local area network. The network of computers has a firewall server (110) coupled to the network of computers and a traffic management tool coupled to the firewall server. The method also includes implementing traffic control for incoming and outgoing information using a combination of flow control and queuing techniques.

System and method for monitoring quality of service over network

A novel method for a network of computers to improve quality of services using a combination of a bandwidth management tool in a firewall. The method includes the steps of providing a network directory services server providing network directory services to a plurality of network servers, each of the plurality of network servers coupled to one of the plurality of network quality of service devices, implementing a quality of service policy for the plurality of network quality of service devices on the network directory services server, and using the network directory services to provide configuration information for the plurality of network quality of service devices, in response to the quality of service policy.
