Abstract:
1. A method for providing different classes of treatment in packet communications, comprising: detecting a payload of data to be transmitted from an application; dividing the payload of data into a first group of bits associated with a first treatment class and a second group of bits associated with a second treatment class; creating a first packet including the first group of bits and a first header that identifies the first packet with the first treatment class; creating a second packet including the second group of bits and a second header that identifies the second packet with the second treatment class; mapping the first packet to a first communications bearer configured to support the first treatment class using the first header; and mapping the second packet to a second communications bearer configured to support the second treatment class using the second header, wherein the first and second packets are real time transport protocol (RTP) packets.
