Abstract
A method for managing packets, including: identifying a first plurality of packets from a first packet source having a first weight; identifying a second plurality of packets from a second packet source having a second weight; obtaining a first weight ratio based on the first weight and the second weight; obtaining an error threshold and a first error value corresponding to the second packet source, where the error threshold exceeds the first error value; forwarding a first packet from the first packet source in response to the error threshold exceeding the first error value; incrementing the first error value by the first weight ratio; forwarding a first packet from the second packet source, after incrementing the first error value and in response to the first error value exceeding the error threshold; and decrementing the first error value.
