Abstract:
1. A method for improved quality of service of voice and data calls in a packet network, said method comprising: receiving a first data packet in a first data input queue; forwarding said first data packet to one of a second and third data input queue based on a size of said first data packet; determining whether a voice packet is present in a voice input queue; and forwarding said first data packet to an output queue if said voice packet is not present in said voice input queue and if the sum of the size of said first data packet in said one of a second and third data input queue and the size of at least a second packet in said output queue would not exceed a size threshold established for said output queue, wherein said size threshold has a first value when at least one voice packet is present in said output queue and a second value when no voice packet is present in said output queue.
