Patent ID: 8077613

Claim:
A computing device-implemented method comprising: defining, by the computing device, a class of service for point-to-point services; defining, by the computing device, a class of service for multi-point services; associating, by the computing device, a link in a link aggregation group (LAG) to a first packet buffer queue for the point-to-point services; associating, by the computing device, the link in the LAG to a second packet buffer queue for the multi-point services; allocating, by the computing device, a guaranteed particular bandwidth to each of the first and second packet buffer queues; assigning a virtual local area network (VLAN) to the link in the LAG; admitting the VLAN to a queue, of the first packet buffer queue or the second packet buffer queue, corresponding to the assigned link in the LAG when a bandwidth of the VLAN does not exceed a bandwidth of the queue; and sending traffic from the VLAN on the assigned link in the LAG.
