Traffic management of proprietary data in a network

A method for traffic management of proprietary data in a network system comprising a gateway and a sensor node communicatively coupled to the gateway via a data bus, the method comprising:

• determining, by a processor of the gateway, whether there is an active connection to a remote server;
• and
• in response to determining that there is the active connection to the remote server:
• broadcasting, by the processor, availability of a dedicated pipeline for transmission of proprietary data to the gateway via the data bus;
• determining, by the processor, whether a request for the dedicated pipeline is received from the sensor node;
• and
• in response to determining that the request for the dedicated pipeline is received from the sensor node within a set period of time:
• broadcasting, by the processor, on the data bus, by the processor, a dedicated pipeline reserved signal indicating establishment of the dedicated pipeline between the gateway and the sensor node;
• determining, by the processor, whether the proprietary data has been received from the sensor node;
• and
• in response to determining that the proprietary data has been received:
• transmitting, by the processor, a proprietary data received signal to the sensor node indicating confirmation of data receipt.
