Abstract: Modification less packet prioritization for frame generation is disclosed. An aggregation device receives, via a digital communication interface, a plurality of encapsulated packets, each respective encapsulated packet of the plurality of encapsulated packets comprising a priority indicator and a packet to which the priority indicator corresponds. The aggregation device extracts a corresponding plurality of packets from the plurality of encapsulated packets and generates a frame that comprises a subset of packets selected from the plurality of packets based at least in part on the priority indicators that correspond to the plurality of packets. The aggregation device transmits the frame via a second communication interface.

Abstract: Packet prioritization for frame generation is disclosed. A modem receives, via a first communication interface, a flow priority structure that comprises one or more modem packet flow identifiers, and for each modem packet flow identifier, a corresponding packet flow priority indicator. Each modem packet flow identifier identifies a different packet flow associated with a computing device to which the modem is communicatively coupled. The modem receives, via a second communication interface, a plurality of packets, each packet corresponding to one of the packet flow priority indicators. The modem generates a frame that includes a subset of packets selected from the plurality of packets based at least in part on the packet flow priority indicators that correspond to the plurality of packets, and transmits the frame via the first communication interface to an aggregation device.
