Certain embodiments of the present invention provide for a system and method for controlling the quality of service for data communication. The method includes reviewing a timestamp of a data set, the timestamp having a time value. The time value may be the time the data set expires. Alternatively, the time value may be the time the data set was acquired. In yet another alternative, the time stamp may include both the time the data set expires and the time the data set was acquired. Next, the method includes determining if the time value of the time stamp is greater than the current time. If the time value is the time the data set expires and the time stamp is greater than the current time, the data set has become stale and is dropped. |
