Abstract

Systems and methods for classifying a traffic flow on a network to determine parameters are described herein. The systems and methods use a policy API of a cellular network to allow entities to self-identify when, for example, their traffic flows may be encrypted or the identity of the originating location is obfuscated. The requesting entity accesses the policy API and transmits a self-identification request for a particular set of parameters to be used for subsequent traffic flows from the self-identification requesting entity. The cellular network may use the self-identification requests to allocate resources according to the parameters listed in the self-identification request without requiring the cellular network to decrypt the transmissions or analyze the transmissions to determine parameters.
