MODIFICATIONLESS PACKET PRIORITIZATION FOR FRAME GENERATION

Modification less packet prioritization for frame generation is disclosed. An aggregation device receives, via a digital communication interface, a plurality of encapsulated packets, each respective encapsulated packet of the plurality of encapsulated packets comprising a priority indicator and a packet to which the priority indicator corresponds. The aggregation device extracts a corresponding plurality of packets from the plurality of encapsulated packets and generates a frame that comprises a subset of packets selected from the plurality of packets based at least in part on the priority indicators that correspond to the plurality of packets. The aggregation device transmits the frame via a second communication interface.
