====== TRANSPORT_PRIORITY QoS Parameter ======
[[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:02_quality_of_service:start|return to the Quality of Service (QoS) Parameters ]]

The [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:t:transport_priority|TRANSPORT_PRIORITY]] [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:q:quality_of_service_qos_policies|QoS]] policy allows the application to take advantage of transports capable of sending messages with different priorities.

This policy is considered a hint. The policy depends on the ability of the underlying transports to set a priority on the messages they send. Any value within the range of a [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:0-9:32-bit]] signed integer may be chosen; higher values indicate higher priority. However, any further interpretation of this policy is specific to a particular transport and a particular implementation of the Service. For example, a particular transport is permitted to treat a range of priority values as equivalent to one another. It is expected that during transport configuration the application would provide a mapping between the values of the TRANSPORT_PRIORITY set on ''DataWriter'' and the values meaningful to each transport. This mapping would then be used by the infrastructure when propagating the data written by the ''DataWriter''.
