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 20):
The apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the packets belong to multiple different traffic classes, which have different, respective levels of quality of service (QoS), and wherein the control circuitry is configured to assign the flows to different queues according to the traffic classes, and to arbitrate separately among the flows in each of one or more of the different traffic classes.
