Empty indicators for weighted fair queues |
摘要 |
A scheduler for a network processor includes one or more scheduling queues. Each scheduling queue defines a respective sequence in which flows are to be serviced. A respective empty indicator is associated with each scheduling queue to indicate whether the respective scheduling queue is empty. By referring to the empty indicators, it is possible to avoid wasting operating cycles of the scheduler on searching scheduling queues that are empty.
