Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling bandwidth. The method includes receiving a plurality of packets from a network, analyzing each of the plurality of packets by a classifier to determine to which of a plurality of temporary data structures each of the plurality of packet is forwarded, forwarding each of the plurality of packets to one of the plurality of temporary data structures as determined by the classifier, if a virtual serialization queue is operating in polling mode: requesting a number of packets from the one of the plurality of temporary data structures by the virtual serialization queue, wherein the virtual serialization queue is associated with one of the plurality of temporary data structures, and forwarding the number of packets to the virtual serialization queue.
