A simple high speed Real-Time method and apparatus for processing a queue in a network queue server is presented. Long packets at the beginning of the queue are processed while a pointer chains down the queue to find shorter packets. When a shorter packet is found the pointer stops and waits for a timing threshold to be met. When the timing threshold is met the short packet is processed until completion and then work is resumed on the long packet. The method is implemented using a pointer to identify the position in the queue that is currently being processed, a pointer to search for the shorter packets, two registers to hold values of the respective pointers and memory to hold the location of the discontinued packet. An additional register is utilized to hold the incremented cycle processing time, and a final register is used to hold a threshold value for processing a packet. Lastly, a previous pseudo head register is also utilized when the queue is not doubly linked.
