1. A method of managing latency critical network traffic, the method comprising:
receiving, by a routing device via a first set of one or more interfaces, a plurality of packets from a first source device and a plurality of packets from a second source device;
determining, by the routing device, that the plurality of packets from the first source device comprise latency-critical packets and that the plurality of packets from the second source device comprise non-critical packets;
detecting, by the routing device, a potential issue with the received plurality of packets by determining one or more characteristics of the plurality of packets received through the first set of one or more interfaces;
suppressing, by the routing device, transmission of the non-critical packets received from the second source device based on the detection of the potential issue, wherein suppressing the transmission of the non-critical packets comprises dropping a percentage of the non-critical packets received from the second source device;
transmitting, by the routing device, the latency-critical packets to a first client device via a second set of one or more interfaces; and
transmitting, by the routing device, a remaining percentage of the non-critical packets received from the second source device to a second client device via the second set of one or more interfaces.
