Flow packet processing device for use in network link, has scheduling module to schedule packet in queue based on analyzing incoming bit rate of flow relative to fair bit rate and fair queuing with priority algorithm

摘要

The device has a scheduling module for scheduling packets in a queue as a function of a priority. The scheduling is performed based on analyzing an incoming bit rate of flows relative to a fair bit rate and a fair queuing with priority algorithm. A fair bit rate value represents the bit rate achieved by a data flow. A priority load value is transmitted in a certain time period divided by duration of that time period. An independent claim is also included for a method of treating packets of flows on a network link.
