ABSTRACT:
A method and system for regulating the flow of data packets in a data switching network environment is provided. The network comprises at least one virtual local area network (VLAN), at least one provider edge (PE), and a data switching system. The method comprises the steps of configuring flow policy criteria for data packets for each VLAN and regulating the flow of data packets between the VLAN and the data switching system according to the flow policy criteria. The system for regulating the flow of data packets comprises the means for performing the method steps given above. The method can also regulate the flow of data packets, by defining the flow policy criteria for each virtual forwarding instance (VFI) in the network.
