Abstract
A router of a network is configured to manage routing of packets based on executing applications. The network communicates packets of information between endpoints coupled to the network. Each packet is assigned to a traffic class based on the application associated with the packet. The router manages routing of received packets based on the traffic classes associated with the received packets. Accordingly, the router can determine routing priority, bandwidth, acknowledgment policy, and other routing management information based on the applications associated with received packets.
