Abstract

A transmitter can manage when a transmit queue is permitted to transmit and an amount of data permitted to be transmitted. After a transmit queue is permitted to transmit, the transmit queue can be placed in a sleep state if the transmit queue has exceeded its permitted data transmission quota. The wake time of the transmit queue can be scheduled based on a token accumulation rate for the transmit queue. The token accumulation rate can be increased if the transmit queue has other data to transmit after the data transmission. The token accumulation rate can be decreased if the transmit does not have other data to transmit.
