Abstract
A System for providing communications over a communications network includes a communications interface and processor. The communications interface communicates over the communications network. The processor directs a communications scheduler to determine at least one metric for a path within the communications network. The processor also selects a data flow for the path and determines whether to transmit a packet in the selected data flow based on the at least one metric. The processor then directs a communications protocol handler to generate the packet for the selected data flow.
