Method and system for applying quality of service policies to communication signals communicated to non-deep packet inspection devices

A system includes a first device that communicates a first configuration signal, an IP address and port identifier to a second device. The second device includes a router having a quality of service module therein. The second device deep packet inspects communication signals destined for the first device based on the IP address and port identifier. The quality of service module applies a quality of service policy to the communication signals based on deep packet inspecting to form modified communication signals. The first device performs a function in response to the modified communication signals.
