Data packet prioritization in multiplexed sessions

A method of defining priority of a number of data packets within a queue includes generating a policy. The policy defines a first multiplexed channel of a plurality of multiplexed channels. The first multiplexed channel having a first priority. The policy also defines a second multiplexed channel of the plurality of multiplexed channels. The second multiplexed channel having a second priority. The first priority is defined as being of a higher priority relative to the second priority. The method further includes receiving the number of data packets over the plurality of multiplexed channels associated with a session based at least in part on the policy.
