Abstract

An improved solution for managing messages through a request response protocol network utilizing a path-based adaptive prioritization and latency management is provided. A weight for a message is determined at a message management computing device based upon a number of hops and a latency of networks passed through by the message. A hop latency target for a current hop segment is evaluated relative to an overall latency target and the determined weight for the message. A priority of the message is adjusted in response to determining that the overall latency target, relative to the weight for the message and the hop latency target for the current hop segment, exceeds a configured allowable hop latency deviation for the current hop segment.
