Patent ID: 7342938

Claim:
A method for transmitting a file stream using quality of service capable links, the method comprising: intercepting an application call initiating the file stream, wherein an embedded function located between an application layer and a transport layer is configured to initiate the intercepting the application call initiating the file stream; identifying important bits and less important bits within the file stream, the important bits being those of which corruption will disrupt an entire frame of the file stream; negotiating quality of service parameters for at least two streams wherein each stream is associated with a detected level of interference, wherein one of the two streams has a higher quality of service level based at least in part on the detected level of interference; placing the important bits in the one of the two streams having the higher quality of service level; placing the less important bits in a second of the at least two streams; transmitting the at least two streams; and wherein the embedded function is configured to identify important bits and less important bits within the file stream and to negotiate quality of service parameters for at least two streams.
