Abstract
A computer-implemented medium using a scheduler for processing requests by receiving packet data from multiple source ports and then classifying, the received packet data based upon the source port received and a destination port the data being sent. Next, sorting, the classified packet data into multiple queues in a buffer, and updating, a static component of one or more of the multiple queues upon the queue receiving the sorted classified data packet. Further, scheduling, using the scheduler based upon the destination port availability and a set of fairness factors including priority weights and positions, for selecting a dequeuing of data packets from a set of corresponding queues of the multiple queues, and then updating the static of the dequeued queue upon the data packet being outputted from the dequeued queue.
