A method for arbitrating channel bandwidth among a plurality of logical connections desiring access over a communication channel to transmit data is provided. The method includes detecting a connection desiring access through the communication channel and assigning the connection to a group having arbitration parameters. Then, the method packetizes the data to be transmitted and transmits each packet of the data in time slices. In each time slice, data is transmitted using the arbitration parameters of the group.
