Bandwidth allocation for a data path
Granted: November 24, 2005
Application Number:
20050262263
A compute engine allocates data path bandwidth among different classes of packets. The compute engine identifies a packet's class and determines whether to transmit the packet based on the class' available bandwidth. If the class has available bandwidth, the compute engine grants the packet access to the data path. Otherwise, the compute engine only grants the packet access to the data path if none of the other packets waiting for data path access have a class with available bandwidth.…

Granted: June 12, 2003
Application Number:
20030108056
