Systems and methods for low latency control of devices

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• determine whether a first low latency device is offline or whether the first low latency device is performing a low latency operation;
• and
• allocate bandwidth reserved for the first low latency device to a second low latency device if the first low latency device is offline or the first low latency device is not performing the low latency operation, wherein the first low latency device and the second low latency device are part of a communication system comprising a cable, fiber optic, or wireless network.

A method of providing low latency service, the method comprising:

• classifying a first packet provided to a first device as being for reception by second low latency device or as being for use in a low latency operation;
• providing the first packet to a first queue associated with a low latency path;
• and determining latency data associated with communication through the first device, the latency data being an indication of time through the first device, wherein the first device is configured to communicate the latency data to a server remote from the first device.
