Original Abstract Submitted

A computer-implemented method for video data communication in a network includes receiving, by a node in the network, an Internet protocol (IP) data packet. The IP data packet includes an IP network layer header and an IP network layer payload. The IP network layer payload is parsed, by the node, to detect a Network Abstraction Layer Unit (NALU). The NALU includes a NALU header and a NALU payload. Priority information in the NALU header is detected by the node. The priority information indicates a transport priority of the NALU. A differentiated services (DS) field in the IP network layer header is updated based on the transport priority to generate an updated IP data packet. The updated IP data packet is forwarded to a second node in the network for discarding or processing based on the updated DS field.
