HYBRID METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TRANSMITTING PACKETS

摘要

A method (100) for transmitting packets, the method includes receiving multiple packets at multiple queues (120). The method is characterized by dynamically defining (110) fixed priority queues and weighted fair queuing WFQ queues, and scheduling (130) a transmission of packets in response to a status of the multiple queues and in response to the definition. A device (10) for transmitting packets, the device includes multiple queues (21-28) adapted to receive multiple packets. The device includes a circuit (30, 40, 50, 100) that is adapted to dynamically define fixed priority queues and weighted fair queuing WFQ queues out of the multiple queues (21-28) and to schedule a transmission of packets in response to a status of the multiple queues and in response to the definition.
