Abstract
Improved timeout table mechanism are disclosed. By way of example, a method for providing timeout delays for data queues in a processing system includes the following steps. A timeout structure is maintained. The timeout structure includes two or more groups, each group including two or more bins, each bin having a range of timeout delay values associated therewith, each group having a weight associated therewith, the weight of each group being based on a rate and a quantity of queues assignable to each group. A timeout delay value to be assigned to a data queue in the processing system is selected.
