Dynamic subscriber interfaces in a network device are provided. An input port receives data units from multiple subscribers. A primary interface extracts source identifiers from headers associated with the received data units and creates dynamic subscriber interfaces to allocate network device resources to each of the multiple subscribers based on the extracted source identifiers.

Systems and methods for implementing dynamic subscriber interfaces

A buffer memory may be configured to temporarily store data in a number of queues. A processor may be configured to measure a fullness of the buffer memory. The processor may also be configured to assign sizes to the number of queues based on the fullness of the buffer memory. The processor may also adjust thresholds of drop profiles associated with the number of queues based on the sizes assigned to the number of queues.

Dynamic queue threshold extensions to random early detection

A method and a network device for sharing bandwidth among a group of classes of traffic for an interface are provided. Bandwidth may be allocated to at least one traffic class of a first priority for the interface. At least some unused bandwidth of the at least one traffic class may be allocated to at least one other traffic class of a second priority for the interface. In some implementations, weighted constituents may be allocated unused interface bandwidth based on an assigned weight of each of the weighted constituents of the interface.
