Abstract
A system is provided for prioritizing and queuing traffic from a plurality of data streams. The system includes a queuing structure, processing circuitry, and a search engine. The queuing structure has a plurality of queues. The search engine is implemented on the processing circuitry and is configured to search and edit the queues in order to manage traffic at a given instance in time by traversing each of the queues in a predetermined manner to identify and remove eligible entries from each queue that need to be transmitted. The traffic was previously classified as to type and traffic elements were previously loaded onto selected queues with other traffic elements having a similar traffic type. A method is also provided.
