Abstract
A method, for use with systems that transmit information in data packets, includes running a first scheduling method on at least one first-stage scheduler device which guarantees first connection parameters during a transmission process. The first connection parameters correspond to transmission rates for the data packets. The method also includes storing a queue identifier in packet headers of the data packets and determining to run, based on the queue identifier, a second scheduling method on a second-stage scheduler device which limits second connection parameters during the transmission process. The second connection parameters correspond to higher transmission rates for the data packets than the first connection parameters and precedes the first scheduling method. The method further includes bypassing the first scheduling method when the transmission rates are not to be limited.
