ABSTRACT:
A method of scheduling a processor to handle a plurality of connections with respective processing cycles. The method includes estimating, for at least one of the connections, whether the connection will receive a processing session during its current respective processing cycle if each of the connections which did not yet receive a processing session during its current processing cycle receives, during its current processing cycle, an unlimited processing session and scheduling one or more of the connections that did not yet receive a processing session in their respective processing cycle, to perform a limited processing session, responsive to results of the estimation.
