Abstract
According to various embodiments, high priority traffic is obtained from one of a plurality of virtual channels servicing high priority traffic. High priority traffic is placed in a high priority queue. Low priority traffic is obtained from one of a plurality of virtual channels. A weighting value associated with an element in the active queue is determined. The element corresponds to a virtual channel associated with the low priority traffic. The low priority traffic is placed either in a low priority traffic active queue or a low priority traffic pending queue based on the weighting value.
