Abstract
Techniques for modifying data packet transmission characteristics by an intermediate node in a network are disclosed. An intermediate node in a data transmission network determines a current estimated transmission time for packets being transmitted from the source node to the intermediate node. The node analyzes a data packet to determine a Quality of Service (QoS) requirement for transmission of the first data packet. Based on the current estimated transmission time for packets being transmitted from the source node to the intermediate node and the QoS requirement for transmission of the first data packet, the intermediate node selects one or more transmission characteristics for forwarding the first data packet toward the destination node. The intermediate node transmits the packet toward the destination node in accordance with the one or more transmission characteristics.
