A method for sharing an aggregate bandwidth among a group of traffic classes may include allocating a portion of the aggregate bandwidth to one of the group of traffic classes having a first priority associated therewith, where the allocated portion is referred to as a first bandwidth. The method may include allocating an unused portion of the aggregate bandwidth to a second one of the group of traffic classes having a second priority associated therewith in conjunction with a parameter associated with a downstream device.

Shared shaping of network traffic

In a network device, a line card includes a first scheduler configured to perform scheduling for data units of a first type and a second scheduler that is connected in series to the first scheduler and configured to perform scheduling for data units of a second type. The schedulers may be configured in a variety of ways to achieve certain data unit flow characteristics.
