Abstract
A first network device receives an authentication request, from a second network device, to authenticate a user device and a first over-the-top application, stored on the user device, to determine whether to apply a level of quality of service to the first over-the-top application. The first network device authenticates the user device, based on the authentication requested. The first network device authenticates the first over-the-top application, based on the authentication request. The first network device sends an authentication result, based on the authentication of the user device and the first over-the-top application, to the second network device; and the second network device initiates, based on the authentication result, a process to apply a level of quality of service to information sent between the first over-the-top application and a provider associated with the first over-the-top application.
