Abstract
Apparatus and methods for parsing data traffic into queues for efficient routing and prioritization. In one embodiment, methods and apparatus for backhauling small cell data traffic using existing cable network infrastructure using DOCSIS Low Latency queue capabilities are provided. A data traffic classifier may use a two-stages sorting algorithm, including a first stage classification using IP address information and a second stage classification using differentiated services code point (DSCP) value information. In one implementation, the DSCP values of the data traffic are set using QoS Flow Identification (QFI) values.
