Abstract
Embodiments of the invention include methods for handling packets in a communications network. In one embodiment, a method is implemented in an electronic device. The method includes at a first end of a queue in the electronic device, determining admission of a first packet to the first end of the queue based on a length of the first packet, where when the admission of the first packet would cause the queue to become full, the admission is further based on a packet value of the first packet and a data structure tracking packet value distribution of packets in the queue. The method further includes at a second end of the queue, dropping a second packet from the second end of the queue when the second packet's corresponding packet value is marked as to be dropped in the data structure upon admitting packets to the first end of the queue.
