Abstract
In a network device, a line card includes a first scheduler configured to perform scheduling for data units of a first type and a second scheduler that is connected in series to the first scheduler and configured to perform scheduling for data units of a second type. The schedulers may be configured in a variety of ways to achieve certain data unit flow characteristics.
