Abstract
Various embodiments are disclosed for prioritizing network flows and providing differentiated quality of service in a telecommunications network. In some embodiments, a SecaaS can be utilized to signal flow characteristics of one or more network flows to a connector in a network so that the network can install differentiated quality of service against the one or more network flows based upon the received flow characteristics. Some embodiments enable a connector in a network to act as a PCP client to signal received flow characteristics to an upstream PCP server hosted by an adjacent access network.
