The article explains that machine learning techniques would likely be used. The transmitter doesn’t have to know your content to recognize that a certain stream has been flowing from A to B within a certain bandwidth. It could also recognize dropouts or delays in such transmission and prioritize the data when it finally comes through. There’s nothing wrong with that. Or more simply, the sender could request a specific traffic bandwidth or pattern as part of initiating the connection. The OSI model isn’t a hard requirement. We already have things like QoS which are commonly used to prioritize traffic.
