ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for scheduling packets for presenting a plurality of classes, includes (a) a buffer which accumulates received packets in each of the classes, (b) a token administrator which judges whether it is allowed to transmit a packet in each of the classes by virtue of a token associated with each of the classes, (c) a scheduler which determines a class to which a packet to be transmitted belongs, based on the judgment carried out by the token administrator, and (d) a controller which reads a packet of the class determined by the scheduler, out of the buffer, and transmits the thus read-out packet. The token administrator includes a single first circuit for carrying out subtraction of a token and a single second circuit for carrying out addition of a token, and carries out subtraction and addition of a token for each of the classes by means of the single first circuit and the single second circuit.
