Abstract
A wireless communications network comprising a plurality of nodes and effective to provide quality of service requirements for packets being transmitted. An ingress node calculates variables based on quality of service requirements and places those variables in a header of a packet to be transmitted. The packet is then transmitted to a core node. The core node reads the variables in the packet and calculates a holding time for the packet based on the variables and the quality of service requirements.
