Abstract

A packetized-data processing apparatus includes a memory configured to store core groups of packetized data, a channel coupled to the memory and having a total bandwidth for transferring packets of data from the core groups, and a scheduler operatively coupled to the memory and the channel and configured to allocate amounts of the total bandwidth of the channel to each of the core groups that is backlogged, while limiting the amount of allocated bandwidth, and a corresponding transfer rate of packets of data, for each core group to a maximum allowable bandwidth for each core group, to schedule transfer of packetized data of the core groups from the memory to the channel in accordance with the respective amounts of allocated bandwidth for the core groups.
