A method and system for routing a data packet, intended for a destination node, from a source node to a first intermediate node in a network is useful for improving the efficiency of the network. The method includes determining a priority level for a user of the source node and a priority level for a user of the destination node (step). A priority level is also determined for each of the following: a device associated with the source node, a device associated with the destination node, and a device associated with the first intermediate node (step). A routing path is then selected that routes the data packet from the source node to the first intermediate node based on a comparison of the priority level for the device associated with the first intermediate node, the priority levels for the users of the source and destination nodes, and the priority levels for the devices associated with the source and destination nodes (step).

Method and system for priority based routing

An audio system (600) typically includes an audio signal processor (610), a controller (607) for controlling data signals, and a peripheral data source (613). The audio signal processor (610) exchanges information with a remote audio device (603) via a communication resource (605). A method of reducing spurious noise levels on the communication resource (605) includes generating a timing signal (400) having a period and randomly altering the period (409, 411, 413) of the timing signal (400) between a first predetermined value and a second predetermined value. The randomly altered timing signal are then used to effect control of the data signals, while providing a reduced level of spurious noise on the communication resource (605).
