Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for receiving, at a first networking equipment, network traffic over a network, and identifying a portion of the network traffic that corresponds to preferential network traffic, based on an indication from an application service provider or an Internet service provider (ISP). A preferential network traffic data cap for data provided over the network to the first networking equipment over a particular time period may be accessed, and whether an amount of preferential network traffic provided to the first networking equipment over the particular time period that equals or exceeds the preferential network traffic data cap may be determined. Based on determining that the amount of preferential network traffic equals or exceeds the preferential network traffic data cap, the disclosed systems and methods may identify an action to be performed on the portion of the network traffic that corresponds to preferential network traffic.
