Abstract
An information handling system includes a network hardware device and a processor. The network hardware device transmits Internet Protocol (IP) datagram packets. Each of the IP datagram packets includes a respective user datagram protocol (UDP) packet. The processor detects a UDP packet. The UDP packet includes a real-time protocol (RTP) packet. The processor inspects one or more fields of the RTP packet, and determines whether a conferencing application generated the RTP packet. In response to a conferencing application generating the RTP packet, the processor determines whether the RTP packet is a real-time audio/video packet, and determines whether an audio/video session is in-progress. In response to the audio/video session being in-progress, the processor determines a network traffic policy for the RTP packet, and the network hardware device to transmit the UDP packet encapsulating the RTP packet based on the determined network traffic policy.
