Abstract
Techniques directed to servicing communications based on when communication sessions are initialized for nodes are described. For example, a routing device may prioritize packets in a buffer according to when nodes have initiated communication sessions with a service provider or another node. The routing device may give priority to nodes that have first initiated communication sessions. This may avoid communication sessions ending prematurely due to time-out periods and/or avoid delays in completing communication sessions.
