ABSTRACT:
In allocating bandwidth to data for transfer through a network device, bandwidth is allocated to committed data traffic based on a guaranteed data transfer rate and a queue size of the network device, and bandwidth is allocated to uncommitted data traffic using a weighted maximum/minimum process. The weighted maximum/minimum process allocates bandwidth to the uncommitted data traffic in proportion to a weight associated with the uncommitted data traffic.
