Abstract
Packetized voice, video, and data traffic (data frames) are received in a communication traffic sorter. The data frames have a dispatch priority corresponding to their transmission characteristics (flow) and a quality of service parameters. The communication traffic sorter analyzes information in data packets within each data frame and determines an optimum flow for the data frames. A data frame is assigned to a selected queue based on an analysis of the information in its data packets. A data frame may also be assigned to a queue based on a prior analysis of a data frame with like transmission characteristics. Results of analysis are stored and indexed to facilitate processing of subsequent data frames. The network access sorter has circuits to un-pack and re-pack the data frame, when called for, to allow user transmitted data to be processed to create a modified data frame. The data frame may then be dispatched with a second dispatch priority on a bus for distribution to end users where previously assigned quality of service is maintained or exceeded.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
