Abstract
In one non-limiting example a computer-implemented server method involves receiving data-communication packets from a plurality of user-operable endpoints in a data-communications conference, and accounts for relevance of the packets for a particular data-communications conference (or meeting) and for system-based communications constraints before assigning and mapping a ranking value to the packets at an application layer of a communications network protocol. The ranking value of the packets at the application layer is then used to set a priority of the received packets for transmission to the participant of the meeting, for example, by a media server (e.g., relevance-based smart server) which is configured with access to moderator- or algorithm (e.g., adapted ML/AI algorithm) provided data about the conference in real-time (or near real-time) including contextually relevant datasets custom to a specific application/service of a software platform (e.g., cloud-based communications platform).
