Method and apparatus for token-based packet prioritization

摘要

According to one embodiment, an apparatus may receive a hard token that identifies a device and a subject token indicating that a user is a high priority user. The subject token may include a user identifier associated with the high priority user. The apparatus may apply a token-based rule that facilitates packet prioritization in response to receiving the subject token. In response to applying the token-based rule, the apparatus may communicate a notification token to at least one network component. The notification token may include the user identifier associated with the high priority user, the device identifier associated with the device, and instructions to prioritize any packet communications associated with the user identifier or the device identifier. The apparatus may then communicate at least one token to facilitate the provisioning of a container to the device associated with the high priority user.
