Abstract
A method and apparatus adapted to prevent Head-Of-Line blocking by forwarding dummy packets to queues which have not received data for a predetermined period of time. This prevention of HOL may be on an input where data is forwarded to each of a number of FIFOs or an output where data is de-queued from FIFOs. The dummy packets may be provided with a time stamp derived from a recently queued or de-queued packet.
