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 21):
A method for communication, comprising:\n receiving from a packet data network, via ingress interfaces of a switching element, packets belonging to multiple flows, and forwarding the packets to respective egress interfaces of the switching element for transmission to the network; for each egress interface of the switching element, queuing the packets, belonging to a plurality of the flows, that have been forwarded for transmission through the egress interface; for each of one or more of the egress interfaces, assessing a respective characteristic of each of the plurality of the flows that are queued for transmission through the egress interface, and setting a priority for the transmission of the packets from each of the flows to the network responsively to a comparison of the respective characteristic to a selected threshold; and selecting the threshold adaptively, responsively to the transmission of the packets through the egress interface.
