Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing a precedence drop quality of service is presented. A drop precedence value for a packet is determined and inserted into the packet which is then transmitted having the drop precedence value inserted therein. The packet is received and a determination made regarding whether a sum of queued packet sizes of previously received packets having a higher drop precedence value than the packet is larger than a first threshold value. The packet is dropped when the sum of queued packet sizes of the previously received packets having a higher drop precedence value than the packet is larger than the first threshold value.
