Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 10:
11. A network switch comprising:
a receiver;
a transmitter;
a per stream filtering policer (PSFP);
a forwarder;
a time gated scheduler;
wherein the receiver is configured to receive a frame at an input port of the network switch;
wherein the PSFP is configured to determine a time period in a cycle time when the frame is received and a stream identification of the frame, wherein the cycle time comprises a plurality of time periods;
wherein the forwarder is configured to receive the frame from the PSFP which is defined by IEEE 802.Qci based on a stream gate state of the PSFP defined by the stream identification; perform one of the cut-through frame transfer and a store-and-forward frame transfer of the frame to a queue of the time gated scheduler which is defined by IEEE 802.Qbv based on the time period in the cycle time when the frame was received and the stream identification, wherein the cut though frame transfer is performed except for a last period of the cycle time and the cut-through frame transfer is always disabled in the last period of the cycle time and store-and-forward frame transfer is performed; and
wherein the time gated scheduler is configured to provide the frame to a transmitter based on a priority of the frame and a priority gate state of the queue; and the transmitter is configured to transmit the frame over an output port of the network switch.
