Abstract
A method of processing a job is presented. A packet selector determines a candidate job list including an ordered listing of candidate jobs. Each candidate job in the ordered listing belongs to a communication stream. Jobs in the candidate job list that are eligible for execution are identified by determining whether a preceding job belonging to the same communication stream as the candidate job is present in the candidate job list, and, for each candidate job in the candidate job list, determining whether a preceding job belonging to the same communication stream as the candidate job is being prepared for execution. The packet selector determines a priority for each eligible candidate job in the candidate job list by at least comparing the communication stream of each candidate job to a communication stream of a first job executing within the data processor.
