Systems and methods for reducing internet traffic latency

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for reducing or otherwise managing Internet traffic latency. In an illustrative example, data from a transmitting server is received at an access network server, and a data type associated with the data is identified at the access network server. It may be determined at the access network server that the data type is associated with low latency, and a separation distance associated with the access network server and the transmitting server may also be determined at the access network server. In this example, it is determined that the separation distance is greater than a distance threshold, and a low-latency policy is applied to the data. The data is transmitted from the access network server to a computing device in accordance with the low-latency policy.
