Abstract
Apparatus and method of efficiently allocating circuits to shapers is described. Shapers are designated as part of a first set or a second set of shapers. Each shaper of the first set has at least one circuit allocated for shaping, whereas shapers comprising the second set of shapers have no circuits allocated for shaping. When a new circuit comprising packets having an urgency of service is received, a determination is made whether any shaper from the first set of shapers has adequate bandwidth and granularity to shape with the new circuit. If not, the circuit is assigned to a shaper from the second set of shapers, and the shaper is then designated as part of the first set of shapers. Correspondingly, if a shaper from the first set of shapers has completed shaping any circuits assigned to it, then the shaper is designated as part of the second set of shapers.
