Claim 11:
12. The forwarding apparatus of claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine that the second probability is higher than the first probability when a second duration of staying in the second memory by the second packet flow is longer than the first duration and when at least one of the following conditions is satisfied:
the first usage is equal to a second usage of the second memory;
the first packet flow and the second packet flow are victims of the congestion control mechanism, or
the first drop priority is equal to a second drop priority of the second packet;

determine that the second probability is higher than the first probability when the second usage is higher than the first usage and when at least one of the following conditions is satisfied:
the first duration is equal to the second duration;
the first packet flow and the second packet flow are the victims, or
the first drop priority is equal to the second drop priority;

determine that the second probability is lower than the first probability when the second packet flow is the victim and the first packet flow is not the victim and when at least one of the following conditions is satisfied:
the first duration is equal to the second duration;
the first usage is equal to the second usage; or
the first drop priority is equal to the second drop priority; or

determine that the second probability is lower than the first probability when the second drop priority is lower than the first drop priority and when at least one of the following conditions is satisfied:
the first duration is equal to the second duration;
the first usage is equal to the second usage; or
the first packet flow and the second packet flow are the victims.
