A method for improving quality of real time data streaming over a network. The network includes a plurality of nodes. A source node in the plurality of nodes transmits a real time data packet to a destination node in the plurality of nodes. First, the source node obtains maximum latency information about the data packet of a data frame. The source node stores information about the maximum latency in the data packet. Then, the source node and zero or more intermediate nodes route the data packet from the source to the destination such that the data packet reaches the destination before the maximum latency expires. Each intermediate node, updates the maximum latency of a packet by subtracting the time spent by the packet at the intermediate node from the maximum latency value received along with the packet.
