ABSTRACT:
A method for communication includes setting respective overbooking ratios for multiple categories of data traffic, and assigning respective bandwidth allocations to a plurality of connections for transmitting the data traffic in one or more of the categories over a network. The data traffic from the connections is coupled into respective queues, such that each of the queues is associated with one or more of the connections. Respective weights are computed for the queues responsively to the bandwidth allocations and to the overbooking ratios of the categories of the data traffic to be transmitted on the connections that are associated with each of the queues. A multiplexer multiplexes among the queues responsively to the respective weights so as to transmit the data traffic from the connections over a link in the network.
