1. A computer-readable medium having compute.-executable instructions for performing steps by a network device to set up a connection with a receiver over a network for an intended data transmission at a target priority, comprising:

  • establishing a connection with the receiver;

    transmitting data to the receiver at a probing priority that is lower than the target priority and at a transmission rate up to a peak probing rate that is equal to or greater than a desired transmission rate at the target priority;

    receiving feedback regarding receipt by the receiver of the data transmitted at the probing priority;

    determining, based on the feedback, whether the network has sufficient bandwidth to accommodate data transmission at the peak probing rate and the probing priority; and

    if the network has sufficient bandwidth for the peak probing rate at the probing priority, switching to transmitting the intended data transmission to the receiver at the target priority.
