  • Patent number: 9900903
    Abstract: Packets received by a network device are assigned to packet flows defined by shared packet characteristics. The packet flows belong to a first category containing packet flows that are to be granted access to the shared resource periodically and with a fixed time interval between subsequent grants of access to the shared resource, or a second category containing packet flows not included in the first category. A periodic schedule that allocates the shared resource to the packet flows in the first category is determined. The periodic schedule includes one or more empty time slots during which the shared resource is not granted to any packet flow in the first category. Access to the shared resource is granted to packet flows in the first category according to the periodic schedule, and is granted packet flows in the second category during the empty time slots in the periodic schedule.
