Abstract
The invention allocates a portion of the common bandwidth resource to each network element, and each network element distributes its allocated portion locally using a fair distribution algorithm. In accordance with the invention, each network element determines its 'local satisfaction'. 'Global fairness' is achieved when local satisfaction is balanced between all of the network elements. This balance can include situations where the satisfaction values of all of the network elements are equal. This balance can also include situations where the working priority class of each of the backlogged network elements is the same. In one embodiment, the invention dynamically allocates portions of the common bandwidth resource using a control algorithm that strives to keep the satisfaction values equal among the network elements.
