Abstract
An assembly and a method where a number of receiving units receive and store data in a number of queues de-queued by a plurality of processors/processes. If a selected queue for one processor has a fill level exceeding a limit, the packet is forwarded to a queue of another processor which is instructed to not de-queue that queue until the queue with the exceeded fill level has been emptied. Thus, load balancing between processes/processors may be obtained while maintaining an ordering between packets.
