Abstract
A method is described that associates a first plurality of logical ports with a first bandwidth group and that associates a second plurality of ports with a second bandwidth group. The first bandwidth group is defined by a first bandwidth range whose lowest data rate is greater than a highest data rate of a second bandwidth range that defines the second bandwidth group. The method also involves servicing the first and second bandwidth groups so that: 1) each of the logical ports that are associated with the first bandwidth group are polled at a rate of X servicing trips of the first and second bandwidth groups; and, 2) each of the logical ports that are associated with the second bandwidth group are polled at a rate of Y servicing trips of the first and second bandwidth groups and where X is less than Y.
