ABSTRACT:
A processor is used to evaluate information regarding the number, size, and priority level of data transfer requests sent to a plurality of communication ports. Additional information regarding the number, size, and priority level of data requests received by the communication ports from this and other processors is evaluated as well. This information is applied to a control algorithm that, in turn, determines which of the communication ports will receive subsequent data transfer requests. The behavior of the control algorithm varies based on the current utilization rate of communication port bandwidths, the size of data transfer requests, and the priority level of the these transfer requests.
