Abstract
A network device is configured to store parameters identifying a respective quality of service (QoS) to apply to corresponding different types of data flows; initiate establishment of a network channel between a source device and a destination device through an optical network; receive first and second data flows destined for the destination device, where the first data flow and the second data flow may have first and second data flow types; identify a first QoS and a different second QoS to apply to the first and second data flows based on the first and second data flow types and based on the parameters; apply the first QoS to the first data flow and the second QoS to the second data flow to form processed first and second data flows; and transmit, via the network channel, the processed first and second data flows towards the destination device.
