  • Methods and systems providing fair queuing and priority scheduling to enhance quality of service in a network
    Patent number: 6810426
    Abstract: Integrated Bandwidth Latency Scheduler apparatus, method and system (collectively, IBLS) combines Fair Queuing and Priority Schedulers in a single stage to provide bandwidth fairness guarantees as well as latency prioritization. The IBLS includes a scheduler and process that dequeues packets from multiple queues in an order based upon an algorithm of the IBLS that arranges and dequeues those queues having the highest priority based on content therein. The IBLS also utilizes quotas and deficit counters to ensure that packets from each source receive their fair portion of the outgoing link bandwidth. To determine which first in first out queue an incoming data packet is placed, the enqueue agent utilized by the present invention classifies incoming packets based on the type of data included within the data packet, the source of the packet, the type of data flow, or another attribute of the packet, such as a header associated with the packet.
