  • Patent number: 11095546
    Abstract: This application provides a network device service quality detection method and apparatus. A service function feature of a network device is built into a service template as a fixed part. An operation and maintenance engineer does not need to learn of a service function feature of each network device, and only needs to provide information such as a flow identifier and deployment information that are of a to-be-detected service flow. A controller dynamically deploys a detection point according to the flow identifier and the deployment information of the service flow that are provided by the operation and maintenance engineer and the fixed part of the service template, so as to automatically detect service quality of a network device, and reduce operation and maintenance complexity and difficulties.

  • Patent number: 11071168
    Abstract: In the present disclosure, an access point obtains a current network feature and generates a matching rule and an access rule, so that a station performs uplink access according to the matching rule and the access rule. This resolves a prior-art problem of reduced quality of service of a high-priority service because in an EDCA protocol, when there are relatively many low-priority service nodes, the high-priority service has difficulty in obtaining a resource through contention, or a conflict occurs between a low-priority packet and a high-priority packet. Effects of ensuring quality of service and user experience are achieved.
