1. A method performed by a security system to manage network traffic of a telecommunications network, the method comprising:
causing the security system to sort incoming or outgoing network traffic at the telecommunications network into one of multiple groups that are each uniquely associated with one of multiple traffic types and one of multiple security levels,
wherein the multiple traffic types include a user traffic type, a control traffic type, and a management traffic type, and
wherein the multiple security levels include a high security level and a low security level, and
wherein each of multiple portions of the network traffic is included in a group that is associated with a matching traffic type and a matching security level;
dynamically adjusting an available bandwidth of the telecommunications network based on a load and a security level of each of the multiple groups including a first group associated with the control traffic type and the high security level, a second group associated with the control traffic type and the low security level, a third group associated with the user traffic type and the high security level, and a fourth group associated with the user traffic type and the low security level,
wherein the available bandwidth is preferentially adjusted for the first group over the second group or the third group over the fourth group; and
dispatching the multiple portions of the network traffic in accordance with a traffic type and a security level of each of the multiple groups,
wherein network traffic of the first group is dispatched preferentially over network traffic of the second group, and
wherein network traffic of the third group is dispatched preferentially over network traffic of the fourth group.
