Abstract:
1. A data communication system for providing network-independent quality of service, the system including: a computing device connected to a node in a first network and configured to apply at least one Quality of Service (“QoS”) algorithm that provides quality of service prioritization of traffic to at least one first subset of data communicated to said node or from said node, said device configured to apply said at least one QoS algorithm to said at least one first subset of data and to provide quality of service to said at least one first subset of data at a transport layer of a protocol of said first network; wherein said device is disconnected from said first network having a first protocol and connected to a node in a second network having a second protocol different from said first protocol, to apply said at least one QoS algorithm to at least one second subset of data communicated in said second network, said device configured to apply said at least one QoS algorithm to said at least one first subset of data independent of said protocol of said first network and to said at least one second subset of data independent of said protocol of said second network; wherein said at least one QoS algorithm applies an established priority to said at least one first subset of data and at least one second subset of data.
