Abstract

A system may receive a bandwidth allocation policy, may allocate first bandwidth to a first set of queues based on the bandwidth allocation policy, and may allocate second bandwidth to a second set of queues based on the bandwidth allocation policy. The system may identify a first characteristic associated with packets, and may store information associated with the packets in first queues based on the first characteristic. The system may identify a second characteristic associated with the packets, and may store information associated with the packets, from the first queues, in second queues, based on the second characteristic, the allocated first bandwidth, and the bandwidth allocation policy. The system may store information associated with the packets, from the second queues, in an output queue based on the allocated second bandwidth and the bandwidth allocation policy, and may service the packets from the output queue for delivery to a device.
