Abstract
A method for traffic management of proprietary data, in a network system comprising a gateway and a sensor communicatively coupled to the gateway via a data bus, includes determining, by a processor of a bridging device, whether a dedicated pipeline for transmission to the gateway is available, in response to determining that the dedicated pipeline is available, transmitting, by the processor, a request for the dedicated pipeline, determining, by the processor, whether the dedicated pipeline has been established between the bridging device and the gateway, and in response to determining that the dedicated pipe has been established, requesting, by the processor, the proprietary data from the sensor, transmitting, by the processor, the proprietary data from the sensor to the gateway via the dedicated pipeline, and transmitting, by the processor, a dedicated pipeline release signal to the gateway indicating release of dedicated pipeline between the bridging device and the gateway.
