摘要

An apparatus (302) and method are described for forwarding of packets (54 2) with controlled delay. In one embodiment, the invention includes controll ed delay queuing logic (508) to hold a packet in a first class for a queuing time of at least a controlled delay value, and scheduling logic (514) to de termine whether to delay transmission of a packet in a second class to allow the transmission of the packet in the first class when the queuing time rea ches the controlled delay value.
