Abstract
The disclosed system provides management of multiple flows at a network device interface such as a router interface to assure maximum usage of the bandwidth available on the physical line while guaranteeing minimum reserved rates for individual flows. It accomplishes this by monitoring usage of a peak rate and a reserved rate for each data flow handled by the interface.
