Method and apparatus for ensuring transmission of critical data through a wireless adapter

A non-transitory computer program product, for a host device, embodied in a machine readable storage medium, the host device having a processor, the computer program product comprising:

• instruction code which when executed by the processor determines a maximum capacity value of a data transmission capacity of a wireless adapter associated with the host device at a transport interface of the host device, wherein the transport interface interfaces with the wireless adapter;
• instruction code which when executed by the processor decrements, at the transport interface, the maximum capacity value to produce a decremented capacity value, wherein a reserved capacity value is the difference between the maximum capacity value and the decremented capacity value;
• instruction code which when executed by the processor allows non-critical data to be transmitted according to the decremented capacity value through a non-critical interface to the transport interface;
• and
• instruction code which when executed by the processor transmits critical data using the reserved capacity of the wireless adapter corresponding to the reserved capacity value, such that the critical data bypasses at least one operating layer and is injected directly into the transport interface for transmission, wherein the at least one operating layer is an intermediate layer between the transport interface and a layer above the transport interface.
