A method, system, and apparatus for prioritizing network traffic according to one embodiment includes receiving a packet addressed to a receiver device from a sender device, identifying the packet at a network layer to determine an application and/or protocol associated with the packet, and generating traffic priority information associated with the packet based upon the identification. In at least one embodiment, the traffic priority information indicates traffic prioritization between the sender device and the receiver device. The method further includes forwarding the packet to the receiver device, receiving an acknowledgment packet from the receiving device, and inserting the traffic priority information into the acknowledgment packet at a transport layer. In at least one embodiment, the acknowledgment packet is forwarded to the sender device. In various embodiments, the packet is identified at the network layer using deep packet inspection.
