Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate dynamic packet prioritization for delivery of multiple media streams based upon packet time stamp information. A central device may retrieve time stamp information associated with one or more packets of a media stream and system time clock information associated with a client device to which output of the media stream is targeted. The central device may compare the time stamp information to the system time clock information, and if the difference between the time stamp information and the system time clock information is less than a predetermined threshold, the central device may deviate from a default packet transmission scheme and may prioritize the delivery of packets from the media stream to the targeted client device.
