Claim 14:
15. A routing node, comprising:
a plurality of software applications,
a transport layer further comprising a congestion control;
a network layer, further comprising:
a router configured to receive a plurality of packets for transmission,
a packet classifier configured to assign each of the plurality of packets to one of a plurality of queues,
the plurality of queues configured to run an active queue management (AQM) policy, wherein the AQM assigns weights to each of the plurality of packets to accommodate quality of service and dynamic network requirements,
a weighted fair-queuing (WFQ) policy configured to select packets to transmit to a data link layer, wherein the WFQ policy is formed with a plurality of neural networks and with a deep reinforcement learning agent, wherein the deep reinforcement learning agent utilizes a soft actor-critic algorithm, to allocate predefined portions of the available transmission bandwidth across the plurality of traffic types by defining each type with a WFQ weight, and
a plurality of Control Delay policies configured to drop a plurality of packets to control congestion;

a data link layer configured to receiving outgoing traffic; and
a physical layer configured to transmit outgoing traffic and receive incoming traffic.
