Each data packet may indicate a flow demand per time period T for a corresponding flow of the one or more flows. The method further includes determining a demand value for the egress port based on the indicated flow demand. The method further includes sending the one or more data packets through the egress port. Each data packet sent may indicate a value for an aggregated demand of the corresponding flow, The value for the aggregated demand may be based on the determined demand value.
