Abstract

Systems and related methods are described for handling one or more resource requests. A protocol engine receives a resource request in accordance with a prescribed protocol, and a classification engine determines a desired class of service for the request. An analysis engine optionally analyzes the request, and, responsive thereto, determines a desired sub-class of service for the request. A policy engine then allocates a resource to the request responsive to one or both of the desired class of service, and the desired sub-class of service.
