Abstract
A method of processing a job is presented. A packet selector determines a candidate job list including an ordered listing of candidate jobs. Each candidate job in the ordered listing belongs to a communication stream. One or more shared resources required for execution of a first job in the candidate job list are identified. Whether the first job is eligible for execution is determined by determining an availability of the one or more shared resources required for the first job, and, when the one or more shared resource required for the first job are unavailable and no jobs executing within the data processor are from the same communication stream as the first job, determining that the first job is not eligible for execution.
