Abstract
One embodiment includes a communication apparatus, including multiple interfaces including at least one egress interface to transmit packets belonging to multiple flows to a network, and control circuitry to queue packets belonging to the flows in respective flow-specific queues for transmission via a given egress interface, and to arbitrate among the flow-specific queues so as to select packets for transmission responsively to dynamically changing priorities that are assigned such that all packets in a first flow-specific queue, which is assigned a highest priority among the queues, are transmitted through the given egress interface until the first flow-specific queue is empty, after which the control circuitry assigns the highest priority to a second flow-specific queue, such that all packets in the second flow-specific queue are transmitted through the given egress interface until the second flow-specific queue is empty, after which the control circuitry assigns the highest priority to another flow-specific queue.
