1. A data processing device capable of servicing plural data streams and comprising:

  • (a) a first scheduling table for storing first scheduling variables defining relative frequencies at which competing data streams are to be serviced by a data servicing resource, the first scheduling table having a predefined first data structure;

    (b) a second scheduling table for storing second scheduling variables that are derived from the first scheduling variables, said second scheduling table having a second data structure that is substantially different from the predefined first data structure; and

    (c) a selection engine that is responsive to the second scheduling variables stored in the second scheduling table and that operates to offer service opportunities to plural data stream sources in a manner which at least roughly mimics a service-offering schedule defined by the first scheduling variables of the first scheduling table.
