Egress scheduling using variable sized packets is completed without sacrificing quality by, among other things, segmenting entire packets into smaller variable sized subpackets, the length of each subpacket being indicated by an associated variable indicator field. Each subpacket is then assigned a slot in a sequence of slots, the sequence of slots forming a transmission frame. After being assigned to a slot, the framed subpackets may be transmitted in a fixed, sequential order.
