  • Patent number: 11350314
    Abstract: An improved Wi-Fi access point classifies network data packets with classification identifiers provided by RTC/RTE devices without scanning the content of them. The access point receives inbound and outbound packet classification identifiers from the RTC/RTE applications running on the RTC/RTE devices. The identifiers are provided to a hardware data packet classifier. The hardware data packet classifier applies the identifiers against ingress packets and egress packets respectively. Data packets of the same class are assigned with a same priority. The prioritized network data packets are scheduled for transmission based on their respective priorities. The scheduled network data packets are forwarded to respective network interfaces for transmission.
