Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for a network unit for transmitting packets on a network that includes a computer-readable medium encoded with an array data structure that is populated by plurality of entries, each entry corresponding to a packet in a queue of packets to be transmitted, a particular entry including a value that is based on a sum of packet sizes stored in a neighboring entry and a packet size of a packet corresponding to the particular entry. A search engine is configured to receive a gate size and to search the array to identify a particular entry in the data structure that has a value nearest to but not greater than the gate size as a transmission entry. A transmission engine is configured to transmit packets from the beginning of the queue up to a particular packet associated with the transmission entry.
