1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory configured to comprise more than one weighted queue;
a scheduler configured to receive a flow and distribute at least one packet of the received flow to at least one weighted queue of the more than one weighted queues, the scheduler configured to distribute the at least one packet of the received flow to the at least one weighted queue based on a delay sensitivity of the received flow; and
a monitor configured to monitor at least per-byte transmission time of more than one transmitted packet of the received flow from at least one weighted queue;
compute an average per-byte transmission time of the more than one transmitted packet; and
adjust a predetermined weight of the at least one weighted queue or a per-byte retry limit when the average per-byte transmission time exceeds the threshold.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for non-transmission specification fair air-time, NT-AirFair, allocation control by tracking the transmission time consumed by each link to detect any increase and enforcing air-time allocation based on the pattern of usage derived therefrom.
