A method for transmitting packets, including forwarding a first set of upstream packets and a first set of local packets by inserting at least one of the first set of local packets between subsets of the first set of upstream packets according to a first insertion rate; calculating a second insertion rate after forwarding a predetermined number of upstream packets generated by a single upstream source, by dividing a cardinality of the first set of upstream packets by a greatest common divisor of the predetermined number and the cardinality of the first set of upstream packets; and forwarding a second set of upstream packets and a second set of local packets from the local switch to the downstream switch by inserting at least one of the second set of local packets between subsets of the second set of upstream packets according to the second insertion rate.

Simple fairness protocols for daisy chain interconnects

A method, for determining sufficiency of a given set of portions included within a storage system (SS) to accommodate one or more flows of data anticipated as flowing therethrough, may include: configuring the given set to include at least one of following portions, a given stable of one or more providers of data-storage (PDSs), and an SS-infrastructure; identifying components within members of the given set as queuing centers according to the one or more flows, respectively; estimating one or more capacity values, based upon the one or more flows, that will be demanded of the components, respectively; and determining whether the estimated one or more capacity values are acceptable in a context of corresponding capacity values attributed to the components, respectively.
