Abstract
Systems and methods can operable to provide a service class identifier field for packets transmitted over a network. Systems can include an interface, a control device and a transmitter. The interface can receive a data packet comprising a packet header and payload, and the packet header can include a differentiated services code point field. The control device can identify one or more network traffic parameters of a data stream associated with the received data packet and modify the data packet to include one or more service class identifier codes associated with the data packet. The transmitter can forward the modified data packet to a network device suited to interpret the service class identifier codes through one or more intermediate routers.
