Abstract
One embodiment disclosed relates to a method of assigning service priorities to traffic from a plurality of sources using meters. A packet is received and placed into a specific COS group. A fabric-adjusted meter modifier is determined depending on a technology of an uplink being used. The fabric-adjusted meter modifier is then added to a meter corresponding to the specific COS group. Another embodiment disclosed relates to a method of implementing COS functionality in a telecommunications system. A user-configurable function is defined by way of a user interface. The user-configurable function is assigned to be a meter modifier function associated with a class of service in the system.
