ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method that schedules movement of packets within network devices, such as network processors, includes a calendar using a sectored hierarchical routine to identify the next packet to be moved from one of a plurality of flow queues. The segmented hierarchical routine allows searching to begin from any starting point identified by a current pointer CP in each segment.
