Abstract
A wireless access point employs monitor to scrutinize priority of mobility unit assigned priority values, and replaces invalid or reserved values to prevent rogue or poorly constructed applications (apps) from improper priority specification and subsequent imbalance of priority message transmission for control and other high-priority message traffic. The access point receives an indication of reserved message priorities from a wireless switching point at a remote end of an access tunnel providing backhaul network access to mobility units coupled to the access point. The access point stores the reserved message priorities for comparison with priorities assigned at the mobility units. Messages having invalid priorities are modified to reduce the priority to an allowed value, such as best effort, prior to the message transmission through the access tunnel to the backhaul network.
