Abstract
In some implementations, an application device may generate a protocol data unit (PDU) associated with an application layer protocol, with the PDU including a header field. The application device may determine a priority level associated with the PDU. The application device may mark the header field with an indication of the priority level associated with the PDU. The application device may transmit, to a second network device, the PDU using the application layer protocol.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- generating, by an application layer associated with an application device, a protocol data unit (PDU) associated with one of hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) or HTTP secure (HTTPS), wherein the PDU includes a HTTP header field or a HTTPS header field;
- determining, by the application layer, a differentiated services code point (DSCP) or a priority code point (PCP) that is to be applied to the PDU at a network layer associated with a network device;
- marking, by the application layer, the HTTP header field or the HTTPS header field with an indication of the determined DSCP or PCP;
- and
- transmitting, by the application layer to the network layer, the PDU using the HTTP or HTTPS.

A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a first network device from an application device using one of hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) or HTTP secure (HTTPS), a protocol data unit (PDU) including a HTTP header field or a HTTPS header field, wherein the HTTP header field or the HTTPS header field includes an indication of a code point value associated with a network protocol that is to be associated with the PDU, wherein the code point value indicates a network layer priority class;
- identifying, by the first network device, the code point value indicated in the HTTP header field or the HTTPS header field;
- marking, by the first network device, a packet associated with the PDU with an indication of the code point value;
- and
- transmitting, by the first network device to a second network device, the packet based on the code point value.
2 more elements
A network device, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- receive, from an application using hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) or HTTP secure (HTTPS), a PDU including a HTTP header field or a HTTPS header field, wherein the HTTP header field or the HTTPS header field includes an indication of a code point value associated with a network protocol that is to be associated with the PDU, wherein the code point value indicates a network layer priority class;
- identify the code point value indicated in the HTTP header field or the HTTPS header field;
- mark a packet associated with the PDU with an indication of the code point value;
- and
- transmit, to another network device using the network protocol, the PDU based on the code point value.
