Abstract:

Described herein are techniques enabling the prioritization of network traffic in a distributed processing system. Information may be received regarding a plurality of flows, each flow configured to travel from one node to another node in the distributed processing system. Each flow may comprise a segment of at least one job. A priority associated with each flow may be identified. A flow table modification message for each flow may be generated. The flow table modification message can include a timeout value and a priority value consistent with the priority associated with the flow.
