  • Apparatus to achieve quality of service (QOS) without requiring fabric speedup
    Patent number: 9973437
    Abstract: A device may store a credit value for each of multiple output components. The device may receive packets from a network device via an input component. The device may cause the input component to queue the packets. The device may selectively dequeue a packet from the input component, to be sent to an output component, based on whether the credit value for the output component satisfies a credit threshold. The device may send the packet to the output component based on a destination of the packet when the packet is dequeued from the input component. The device may determine a size of the packet after the packet is dequeued. The device may update the credit value for the output component based on the size of the packet. The device may output the packet to another network device via the output component.
