Abstract

A method and apparatus are provided for scaling an input bandwidth for bandwidth allocation technology. An original bandwidth count value of an input flow is received. A bandwidth scaler constant is provided and used for scaling the received original bandwidth count value to provide a scaled bandwidth value between zero and one. The scaled bandwidth value is stored and used for calculating a transmit probability for the input flow.
