Abstract
A network system capable of dynamically controlling a data flow is disclosed. The network system includes: a forwarding unit, for receiving a packet and for providing a QoS (quality of service) function; and a processor, for accessing data from the forwarding unit through an interface and setting at least one parameter of the forwarding unit. The interface is coupled between the forwarding unit and the processor, and the processor executes a software program to set the at least one parameter of the forwarding unit. In this way, the forwarding unit can classify received packets into different QoS levels according to their transmission properties, and can provide different forwarding methods and QoS services to reduce the amount of the output queues physically.
