摘要

An importance level may be associated with a video packet at the video source and/or determined using the history of packet loss corresponding to a video flow. A video packet may be associated with a class and may be further associated within a sub-class, for example, based on importance level. Associating a video packet with an importance level may include receiving a video packet associated with a video stream, assigning an importance level to the video packet, and sending the video packet according to the access category and importance level. The video packet may be characterized by an access category. The importance level may be associated with a transmission priority of the video packet within the access category of the video packet and/or a retransmission limit of the video packet.
