Delay-Minimizing System with Guaranteed Bandwidth Delivery for Real-Time Traffic

摘要

A bandwidth allocation system allows packets or cells within traffic flows from different sources contending for access to a shared processing fa bric to get access to that fabric in an order that is determined primarily on indivi dualguaranteed bandwidth requirements associated with ea ch traffic flow, and secondarily on overall system criteria, such as a time of arrival, or due da te of packets or cells within traffic flows.
