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

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.
