Answer

In section 7.5 we discussed that: Under a non-preemptive priority queuing discipline, the transmission of a packet is not interrupted once it has begun. 

So in preemptive priority queuing discipline, the transmission of a packet would be interrupted once it has begun.

Preemptive priority queuing doesn’t make sense for computer networks because during a transmission of packet if it is interrupted there will be a lot of packets lost in the computer network.
