Abstract: A method implemented in a network for enhancing transmission is disclosed. The network contains a number of network devices, and at least one network device provides traffic scheduling function to schedule transmission of packets. The method starts with arrival of a packet. In response to arrival of the packet, the network device determines whether a timer has expired, whether a congestion level has reached a congestion threshold, whether the packet is a high priority packet, and whether a burst accumulation counter has reached an accumulation threshold. The packet is transmitted, along with any packet waiting for transmission, in response to at least one of the conditions are satisfied: the timer has expired, the congestion level has reached the congestion threshold, the packet is a high priority packet, and the burst accumulation counter has reached the accumulation threshold.

Abstract: A method for dynamic queue management using a low latency feedback control loop created based on the dynamics of a network during a very short time scale is implemented in a network element. The network element includes a plurality of queues for buffering data traffic to be processed by the network element. The method includes receiving a data packet, a classification of the data packet, and identification of a destination for the data packet. The data packet is assigned to a queue according to the classification and the destination. A queue bandwidth utilization, a total buffer usage level, and a buffer usage of the assigned queue are determined as a set of parameters. A look-up of a dynamic queue threshold using at least two parameters from the set of parameters is performed, and the dynamic queue threshold is applied for admission control to the assigned queue in the shared buffer.
