ABSTRACT:
According to the invention, techniques for controlling the quality of each communication service in a network automatically according to measured information of network traffic are provided. In a representative embodiment, a network measurement controlling system is provided according to the present invention, which comprises a control server, a router, and a meter connected to a network. The meter receives packets from a network and measures the number of packets, and the like, according to preset measurement rules, and transfers measured data to a control server. The control server holds control rules including its control policy for assuring the quality of each communication service, analyzes measured data transferred from the meter, and transmits control commands. The router controls the QoS automatically in real time according to the status of the network by receiving control commands and controlling communication service quality.
