ABSTRACT:
A technique to implement a network traffic management system with an integrated multidimensional floating point sorter (306) is to store data such that it may be retrieved in a sorted fashion. Entries are stored (407) into a memory according to time stamp value, represented in a floating point format, and the time stamp value is divided (412) into at least two portions, exponent and mantissa. The memory is organized as a pointer memory (505, 508, 513, and520). An integrated multidimensional floating point sorter may be implemented using integrated circuit technology using one or more integrated circuits (306). These integrated circuits may be used in management of network traffic, and provides quality of service (QoS) or class of service (CoS) control.
