A method (500), apparatus (220), and transmission format (400) enables packets (400) carrying different types of information (406) to be assigned different priority levels (402) and to be forwarded accordingly. In one embodiment, packets include an indication as to whether they have a high priority (e.g., interactive speech), a low priority (e.g., non-interactive speech), etc. Packets with low priority are queued and delayed (525) until packets with a high priority are forwarded (515). Examples of non-interactive speech include voice mail, computer-generated menus, e-mail to/from speech, etc. In one particular embodiment, the system identification block (685, 695) of TFO messages (680, 690) is populated with a priority level indication. |
