A method or system or apparatus provides improved data handling. In one aspect, destination scheduling is performed by scheduling polling rather than scheduling data emissions. In particular aspects, a scheduler assigns a weight and sequence number to each destination and tracks a port segment count and schedules polling of ports using these parameters.
