Described herein is a method for making bandwidth allocation for data to be sent from a plurality of ingress forwarders or LICs ( 310, 312, 314, 316 ) egress forwarders or LICs ( 320, 322, 324, 326 ) across a routing device ( 330 ). The data may be unicast and/or multicast. The bandwidth allocation is calculated in accordance with ingress forwarder multicast queue occupancy for each ingress forwarder ( 312, 314, 316 ), the number of multicast cells received by egress forwarders ( 322, 324, 326 ) from the ingress forwarders in the last bandwidth allocation period, and the bandwidth allocated to non-real time multicast flows from ingress forwarders ( 310, 312, 314, 316 ) to egress forwarders ( 320, 322, 324, 326 ).
