Abstract
A processing module of a memory storage unit includes an interface configured to interface and communicate with a communication system, one or more memory devices, and processing circuitry operably coupled to the interface and to the memory that is configured to receive an access request from a distributed storage network (DSN) client and determine whether a quality of service (QoS) identity for the DSN client is associated with the access request. Based on a determination that a QoS identity is associated with the access request, the processing module determines a QoS level associated with the access request, where the QoS level is based at least in part on the QoS identity that is associated with the access request. The processing module maps the QoS level to a storage layer priority for the access request and transmits the storage layer priority for execution by at least one of the one or more memory devices.
