Abstract

A bandwidth allocation system allows packets or cells within traffic flows from different sources contending for access to a shared processing fabric to get access to that fabric in an order that is determined primarily on individual guaranteed bandwidth requirements associated with each traffic flow, and secondarily on overall system criteria, such as a time of arrival, or due date of packets or cells within traffic flows.
