Prioritizing network traffic among two or more distinct channels of communication within a single application in a node configured to communicate with one or more other nodes over a network is disclosed. For a particular time quantum, a bandwidth quantum may be distributed amongst two or more communication channels according to priorities associated with those channels. Ready data for each channel may be transmitted over a network path up to the size of the reserved portion for that channel and not greater than a path maximum transmission unit (MTU) size for a network path. This abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
In a node configured to communicate with one or more other nodes over a network, a method for prioritizing network traffic among two or more distinct channels of communication within a single application, the method comprising:
A node configured to communicate with one or more other nodes over a network, the node comprising:
A non-transitory, computer-accessible storage medium comprising program instructions, wherein the program instructions are computer-executable on a node to implement a method for prioritizing network traffic among two or more distinct channels of communication within a single application, the method comprising:
