Abstract
In general, the invention is directed to techniques for scheduling resource access within an intermediate network device. For example, as described herein, a device receives packets for a plurality of sessions that include application-layer data for the sessions. The device determines a weight for each of the plurality of sessions and, during periods of resource congestion, selects one or more sessions for additional resource allocation based on the respective weights of the sessions. The device allocates additional memory resources to selected sessions to enable further buffering of application-layer data such that the device may apply the service to multiple sessions concurrently despite the resource congestion.
