Abstract
In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a queue scheduler configured to schedule frames to be buffered through one of a plurality of queues wherein each queue is designated to buffer frames having a pre-assigned priority. Congestion control logic is configured to change the pre-assigned priority of one or more frames before the one or more frames are scheduled by the queue scheduler to cause the one or more frames to be buffered in a different queue than the queue designated for the pre-assigned priority.
