1. A system for gateway prioritization comprising:
a gateway;
a first node;
wherein the first node is characterized by a first node technical factor;
wherein the first node technical factor is a first node bandwidth capability;
a second node;
wherein the second node is characterized by a second node technical factor;
wherein the second node technical factor is a second node bandwidth capability;
wherein the gateway, the first node, and the second node are communicatively coupled by an internal link;
wherein the internal link is characterized by a first internal link characteristic;
wherein the first internal link characteristic is an internal link bandwidth;
wherein the gateway executes one or more non-transient computer instructions to instantiate an allocator; and
wherein the allocator instructs the gateway to allocate the first internal link characteristic to the first node and to the second node based on:
a first resource request, received from the first node, seeking a first allocation of internal link bandwidth to the first node;
a second resource request, received from the second node, seeking a second allocation of the internal link bandwidth to the second node; and
a multi-variable ranking of:
the first resource request in view of the first node bandwidth capability; with
the second resource request in view of the second node bandwidth capability.
