Abstract
Methods and systems for providing an enhanced best-effort quality of service (QOS) are provided. As third-party real-time applications may be unable to explicitly signal QOS requests in some environments, this enhanced best-effort QOS may be applied to real-time flows associated with third-party applications. For instance, devices in an access network may determine that a packet is part of a real-time flow of packets, and is associated with a third-party application. In response to this determination, these devices may forward the packet according to the enhanced real-time QOS.
