Abstract
A method for managing port bandwidth in network devices. The method includes determining a first and a second ingress bandwidth of a first and a second network chip, respectively, determining an egress bandwidth of an egress port of a third network chip, determining a first and a second weight for the first and the second network chip, respectively, where the first and the second weight are determined based on a bandwidth including the first and second ingress bandwidth, processing a first data packet, received by a first ingress port administrated by the first network chip, based on the first weight and the egress bandwidth, and processing a second data packet, received by a second ingress port administrated by the second network chip, based on the second weight, and the egress bandwidth, where the destination of the first and the second data packet is the egress port.
