Abstract
A method, computer program product, and a data processing system for transferring request prioritizations in a data processing system network is provided. A first data processing system receives a transaction request and identifies a priority of the transaction request. The first data processing system processes and conveys the transaction request to a second data processing system according to the priority, and the second data processing system processes the transaction request according to the priority.
Claims20
A method of transferring request prioritizations in a data processing system network, the method comprising the computer implemented steps of:
- receiving, by a first data processing system, a transaction request;
- identifying a priority of the transaction request;
- processing, by the first data processing system, the transaction request in a network layer of the first data processing system according to the priority;
- and
- conveying the transaction request to a second data processing system, wherein the second data processing system processes the transaction request in a network layer of the second data processing system according to the priority.
A computer program product in a computer readable medium for transferring request prioritizations in a data processing system network, the computer program product comprising:
- first instructions that receive a transaction request at a first data processing system;
- second instructions that identify a priority of the transaction request;
- third instructions that process the transaction request at a network layer of the first data processing system;
- and
- fourth instructions that convey the transaction request to a second data processing system for processing of the transaction request at a network layer of the second data processing system according to the priority.
A data processing system for transferring request prioritizations in a data processing system network, comprising:
- a network interface card that receives a transaction request;
- a memory that contains a priority filter as a set of instructions;
- and
- a processing unit, responsive to execution of the set of instructions, that identifies a priority of the transaction request and processes the transaction request at a network layer of the data processing system, and transmits the transaction request on a first connection of a plurality of connections, wherein each of the plurality of connections has an associated priority, and the first connection has a first associated priority that corresponds to the priority of the transaction request.
