Abstract:
A method for communication includes receiving and forwarding packets in multiple flows to respective egress interfaces of a switching element for transmission to a network. For each of one or more of the egress interfaces, in each of a succession of arbitration cycles, a respective number of the packets in each of the plurality of the flows that are queued for transmission through the egress interface is assessed, and the flows for which the respective number is less than a selected threshold to a first group, while assigning the flows for which the respective number is equal to or greater than the selected threshold are assigned to a second group. The received packets that have been forwarded to the egress interface and belong to the flows in the first group are transmitted with a higher priority than the flows in the second group.

Claim (Index 7):
The method according to  claim 1 , and comprising initiating a new arbitration cycle in the succession in response to an arbitration event,\n wherein assessing the respective number comprises reassessing the respective number of the packets in each of the plurality of the flows that are queued for transmission upon initiation of the new arbitration cycle, and wherein assigning the flows comprises reassigning the flows to the first and second groups based on the reassessed number.
