ABSTRACT:
The rate-based scheduling for a network application is used to control the bandwidth available to a flow while scheduling the transmission of the flow. The rate-based scheduling uses rate credits to represent the amount of data a flow is permitted to transmit and only permits a flow to transmit if the flow has rate credit available. A flow is permitted to transmit only if the peak packet rate for the scheduler has not been exceeded.
