Abstract
Management of a plurality of queues is made weighted and fair through the introduction of a system of credits. A credit is spent when a fixed-size unit of storage is served from a selected one of the queues. A scheduler selects a queue when an identifier of the queue reaches the head of a service queue. Credits are regained through a distinct credit management method that takes into account a weight associated with each queue. The arrival of new data in a previously empty queue can trigger the inclusion of the previously empty queue in data structures associated with the credit management method.
