Abstract
A method and apparatus for scheduling packets using a pre-sort deficit round-robin method. Scheduling decisions for packets are made when packets are received, and entries for the received packets are stored in a pre-sorted scheduling array. A packet is transmitted by dequeuing the packet from the pre-sorted scheduling array.
