Abstract:
Micro-schedulers control bandwidth allocation for clients, each client subscribing to a respective predefined portion of bandwidth of an outgoing communication link. A macro-scheduler controls the micro-schedulers, by allocating the respective subscribed portion of bandwidth associated with each respective client that is active, by a predefined first deadline, with residual bandwidth that is unused by the respective clients being shared proportionately among respective active clients by a predefined second deadline, while minimizing coordination among micro-schedulers by the macro-scheduler periodically adjusting respective bandwidth allocations to each micro-scheduler.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of controlling bandwidth allocation for a plurality of clients sharing a common outgoing communication link at a server, the clients individually subscribing to a predefined portion of the outgoing transmission bandwidth, the method comprising:\n allocating an amount of the outgoing transmission bandwidth up to the respective predefined portion that the clients are individually subscribed to; allowing the clients to transmit data of the clients via the common outgoing communication link according to the allocated amount of the outgoing transmission bandwidth over an initial period; subsequent to the initial period, allocating residual bandwidth that is unused by the clients proportionately among clients that are actively transmitting data via the common outgoing communication link; and periodically adjusting respective bandwidth allocations to the individual clients by repeating the allocating the respectively amount, transmitting, and allocating the residual bandwidth operations over additional periods subsequent to the initial period, thereby providing an at least approximation of fair queuing.
