Patent attributes
The disclosed computer-implemented method for managing quality of service may include (i) installing, at a network protocol layer, a latency monitoring plug-in that monitors latency at the network protocol layer as distinct from a storage layer beneath the network protocol layer, (ii) providing, by the latency monitoring plug-in, feedback reporting the latency at the network protocol layer to a quality of service engine that monitors characteristics of the storage layer such that the quality of service engine learns about the latency at the network protocol layer, and (iii) adjusting, by the quality of service engine, a calculation of system capacity, based on both the feedback from the latency monitoring plug-in reporting the latency at the network protocol layer and the monitored characteristics of the storage layer to enable an application to adhere to a service level agreement. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
