Abstract

A device (800) and method (900) are included for providing a high-rate queueing discipline in an information network system having a plurality of traffic classes. The high-rate queueing discipline is based on a scan table-based dequeueing scheme having a scan table that is precomputed and stored in memory, thus facilitating rapid processing of different traffic class information. The device and method are particularly useful in a fast packet system.
