Abstract
A self-configuring router includes a resource allocator that automatically assigns processors to queues, such that queue workload is distributed as evenly as possible among the processors, and the processors are as fully utilized as possible. Consequently, packets do not remain on queues longer than necessary, thereby decreasing latency of packets traversing the router, and available and expensive resources, namely the processors, are kept busy. The router automatically allocates its own resources (processors) to its own queues.
