Abstract
The present invention includes a network telephone having a microphone coupled to provide voice data to a network, a speaker coupled to facilitate listening to voice data from the network, a dialing device coupled to facilitate routing of voice data upon the network, a first port configured to facilitate communication with a first network device, a second port configured to facilitate communication with a second network device and a prioritization circuit coupled to apply prioritization to voice data provided by the microphone.
Claims20
A controller for communicating a data packet over a network, comprising:
- a switch engine queuing manager configured to classify the data packet as a first type or a second type and to prioritize a first type data packet according to a first priority and a second type data packet according to a second priority, the first priority being higher than the second priority;
- and
- a packet buffer including a first queue and a second queue, the switch engine queuing manager being further configured to queue the first type data packet into the first queue and the second type data packet into the second queue.
A controller for communicating a data packet over a network, comprising:
- means for determining whether the data packet is a first type data packet or a second type data packet;
- means for prioritizing the first type data packet according to a first priority and the second type data packet according to a second priority, the first priority being higher than the second priority;
- and
- means for queuing the first type data packet into a first queue and the second type data packet into a second queue.
A method for communicating a data packet over a network, comprising:
- determining, by a controller, whether the data packet is a first type data packet or a second type data packet;
- prioritizing, by the controller, the first type data packet according to a first priority and the second type data packet according to a second priority, the first priority being higher than the second priority;
- and
- queuing, by the controller, the first type data packet into a first queue and the second type data packet into a second queue.
