Abstract
A scheduler for a server for serving ATM cells. The scheduler includes R rate bins where R is greater than or equal to 2. The scheduler includes a controller which places a session having a desired rate into a rate bin of the R rate bins. A system for transmitting ATM cells. The system includes an ATM network along which ATM cells are transmitted. The system includes S sources where S is greater than or equal to 1 and is an integer. Each source is connected to the network and produces ATM cells for transmission on the network. The system includes D destinations where D is greater than or equal to 1 and is an integer. Each destination is connected to the network. Each destination receives ATM cells from the network. The system includes a server connected to the ATM network. Additionally, the system includes a scheduler which has R different rate bins for holding sessions, where R is an integer greater than or equal to 2. The scheduler schedules service by the server among the R different rate bins, with precision P, where P is an integer and the number of bits assigned for precision. The scheduler is connected to the server. A method for providing service by a server to sessions.
