Abstract
Systems and methods for providing a deterministic process for implementing network traffic prioritization, particularly for implementing bandwidth latency sensitive applications are described herein. In one embodiment, multiple network interfaces are provided within a system. Network communication traffic through the system may be prioritized between different network interfaces based upon the type of traffic that is being handled. Higher priority bandwidth or latency sensitive traffic maybe routed to the network interface that best suited for such traffic. In some applications each network interface may operate in a separate band, however, in other applications one or more of the network interfaces may be of the same band type.
