Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for traffic shaping and scheduling in a network. A computer-implemented method includes receiving a data packet L.sub.n from a network at a rate R.sub.N, metering and coloring the packet L.sub.n using two-rate three coloring marking (trTCM), labeling and enqueuing the packet L.sub.n to a scheduler's queue, enqueuing the packet L.sub.n in a deferral queue if the packet L.sub.n is non-conformant and head-of-line (HOL), to delay the packet L.sub.n an amount of time to become conformant, up-dating the conformity parameters upon dequeuing of the packet L.sub.n using its label, determining the conformance of the next HOL packet L.sub.n+1 using its label and the conformity parameters and, if packet L.sub.n+1 is non-conformant, enqueuing the packet L.sub.n+1 in a deferral queue to delay its scheduling an amount of time to become conformant.
