Systems and methods for managing network traffic receives, at a grade of service device, network traffic information for a plurality of network traffic channels from a network device separate from the grade of service device. The network traffic information is compared to a threshold to determine a behavior value for each network traffic channel. Each network traffic channel is mapped to a grade of service according to the behavior value.

Grade of service control closed loop

In a network service provider environment, a number of interconnection routing configuration templates provide a consistent approach for configuring associated interconnect network segments between enterprise network customer sites and cloud service providers. At least two types of configuration template are used to create at least two types of routing arrangement: a first template for creating an 'unconstrained' routing arrangement having 'any to any' connections; and a second template for creating a &#x201c;partitioned&#x201d; routing arrangement in which traffic between partitions must be operated on by a virtual network function. Additionally, the &#x201c;partitioned&#x201d; routing arrangement may use either a shared VPN or a segregated VPN facing the cloud service providers. The use of the interconnection routing configuration templates may be automated. The interconnection routing configuration templates can be applied in a recursive fashion to different parts of the end-to-end connectivity.

Interconnection between enterprise network customers and network-based cloud service providers

A system for indirect border gateway routing comprising a provider edge router; at least one virtual routing and forwarding instance in communication with the provider edge router, each virtual routing and forwarding instance including a route target; a pointer identification list in communication with the provider edge router, the pointer identification list containing at least one route target associated with a virtual routing and forwarding instance; and a virtual routing and forwarding import instance adapted to receive a route from the provider edge router, the route including a pointer identification directing the virtual routing and forwarding import instance to scan the pointer identification list for the route target associated with the plural virtual routing and forwarding instance, and wherein the virtual routing and forwarding import instance is further adapted to import the route to the at least one virtual routing and forwarding instance having a route target on the pointer identification list.
