Abstract

Network device for transmitting packets having packet properties, including at least two input-output-buffers for queuing packets in the network device; a sojourn time calculator for calculating a sojourn related time for each head packet in the at least two input-output-buffers; a sojourn related time adaptor for, based on an adaptation function assigned to the corresponding input-output-buffer, adapting the sojourn related time into an adapted time for each head packet in the at least two input-output-buffers; and a scheduler for scheduling outgoing packets based on the adapted time.
