That would seem to be quite a tall order - network access is requested by individual applications, so how would a system-wide framework have a way to tell how important each individual application's network access request is? There would have to be some framework under which each network access request would have some sort of priority description attached to it. I doubt such a thing exists. An application firewall might be useful here, but I have no experience with such them. Celejar
