Abstract

A method and apparatus of deprioritizing a high priority client. An isochronous data stream request is generally referred to as a “high priority” client. These high priority requests are sensitive to time, such that a certain amount of data must be retrieved within a certain amount of time. The fetching of this data will cause increased latencies on lower priority clients making requests for data. A method and apparatus for deprioritizing a high priority client is needed to improve the efficiency in handling data traffic requests from both high priority and lower priority clients.
