Abstract
A method and system for profile-marking and scheduling of packets are disclosed. Using a dual-rate scheduler, the profile state of a packet being scheduled for transmission by a flow traffic descriptor is determined based on the traffic rate of the flow traffic descriptor, which is associated with the queue that the packet belongs to. The profile state of the packet is marked prior to the transmission of the packet.
