ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for allocating excess bandwidth of an output among network users are disclosed. According to one method, packets associated with a plurality of network users for forwarding to an output are received. The packets can include a first non-committed information rate (CIR) packet associated with a first network user. The method can include a step for maintaining a count of non-CIR packets sent for the first network user. Further, the method can include preventing the first non-CIR packet from being forwarded to the output in response to the count having a predetermined relationship with respect to a threshold level.
