Systems and methods for adaptive traffic shaping for an in-vehicle network

A system comprising:

• a communication data network for transmitting a plurality of data, wherein the plurality of data includes a plurality of data packets;
• and
• a network device in communication with the communication data network for controlling the plurality of data packets travelling on the communication data network, wherein the network device is configured to execute program code to carry out the following operations:
• monitor a plurality of data traffic metrics of the plurality of data packets travelling on the communication data network;
• compare the plurality of data traffic metrics to a plurality of data network requirements;
• determine whether the plurality of data traffic metrics is different than the plurality of data network requirements;
• and
• adjusting a data traffic shaper based on determining that the plurality of traffic metrics is different than the plurality of data network requirements.
