Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
monitoring a network to identify a first amount of network traffic in the network;
determining, in accordance with the monitoring, that the first amount of the network traffic for the network exceeds a threshold;
increasing a priority class for a first communication device responsive to the determining that the first amount of the network traffic for the network exceeds the threshold, wherein the priority class controls access by the first communication device to a resource of the network, and wherein the increasing of the priority class provides the first communication device with greater access to the resource of the network;
monitoring the network to identify a second amount of the network traffic in the network;
determining that the second amount of the network traffic in the network is less than the threshold; and
modifying the priority class for the first communication device responsive to the determining that the second amount of the network traffic in the network is less than the threshold.
