Determining traceability of network traffic over a communications network

A server for determining the traceability of network request traffic over a communications network for reducing strain in traffic processing resources, the system comprising:

• a computer processor having a set of instructions stored on a storage for configuring the computer processor to:
• provision a direct interconnect on the communications network between the server and a predefined source, the direct interconnect providing a private service interface between the predefined source and the server configured for receiving the network request traffic addressed from the predefined source, a defined pairings data of the predefined source with the direct interconnect stored in a storage as a network traffic almanac;
• provision a public service interface on the communications network configured for receiving the network request traffic addressed from the predefined source and from other sources, the public service interface separate from the direct interconnect;
• receive a first request traffic addressed from the predefined source via the direct interconnect;
• process the first request traffic by generating a first query response and sending the first query response via at least one of the direct and the public service interface for communicating over the communications network to the predefined source;
• receive a second request traffic having an address of the predefined source via the public service interface;
• consult the defined paring data with the address to determine the second request traffic matches the predefined source;
• and
• de-prioritize the processing of the second request traffic based on the second request traffic being received on the public service interface rather than on the direct interconnect by dynamically applying a prioritize criterion to the second request traffic before generating a second response traffic.
