Abstract
In a method of processing packets in a network, a packet is received at an ingress port of a network device. A traffic class associated with the packet is determined. Based on the traffic class, it is determined whether the packet should transmitted without being enqueued by a traffic manager of the network device. When it is determined that that the packet should be transmitted without being enqueued by the traffic manager, the packet is sent to an egress port of the network device without enqueuing the packet by the traffic manager. When it is determined that the packet should not be transmitted without being enqueued in the network device, the packet is enqueued in a queue in the traffic manager of the network device. The packet sent to the egress port without being enqueued by the traffic manager is accounted for in the traffic manager.
