Method and system for inbound content-based QoS
First Claim
1. A method for communicating inbound network data to provide quality of service, the method including:
- receiving inbound data at a processor, wherein inbound data comprises data received over a network at the processor for communication to an application at the processor;
prioritizing the inbound data at the processor by assigning a priority to the inbound data and differentiating the inbound data based at least in part on queue selection and functional redundancy, wherein differentiating the inbound data based on functional redundancy comprises processing the inbound data by removing functionally redundant inbound data, wherein the priority of the inbound data is based at least in part on message content, wherein the prioritizing the inbound data occurs at a transport layer of a network communications protocol stack; and
communicating the inbound data to the application at the processor based at least in part on the assigned priority of the inbound data.

Abstract
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a method for communicating inbound network data to provide QoS. The method includes receiving data over a network at a node, prioritizing the data at the node by assigning a priority to the data, and communicating the data to an application at the node based at least in part on the priority of the data. The data priority is based at least in part on message content. Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a system for communicating inbound networking data to provide QoS. The system includes a data prioritization component adapted to prioritize data by assigning a priority to the data and a data communications component adapted to receive the data over a network and to communicate the data to an application based at least in part on the priority of the data. The data priority is based at least in part on message content.
