<p>The present invention provides systems for improved quality of service and traffic management in network routers and other devices. This is achieved by coupling a plurality of queue processors to a plurality of input interfaces (18) that receive data from one or more respective network connections (12). Each queue processor, in coordination with an associated scheduler (24) that schedules dequeing of data from one or more queues (22), maintains with quality of service levels with respect to throughput, and delivers the data for a particular output context based on priority to a respective output interface (26). Packets, cell, datagrams and so forth passing through the router are disassembled and marked with one or more priority levels. Prior to exiting the router they are reassembled according to marked priority levels into their constituent forms for continued routing on the network.</p> |
